The mandatory patches weren’t mandatory, so they’ve been relabeled. They’re now called “recommended” patches. The recommended patches are those patches Sun recommends for trouble free system operation. With those patches installed, your chances on trouble free operation are higher. That doesn’t mean you will run into trouble without them. These recommended patches can be anonymously ftp’ed from official Sun ftp sites.
