Got a rep on the phone. What time, exactly is October 22 to you? Is it in 30 minutes? 7am Eastern? Other random time?

Well, we just know the recommended patch window for customers is between 10/22 - 10/23. Not exactly what time the patch will be released. You should open a ticket with TAC and ask them.
