This is because 6.3.3-h10 was pulled in favor of 6.3.3-h11 due to analytics showing performance issues supposedly with h10 on macOS and Windows. I have to imagine that the performance issues where due to it being released with some debugging enabled by default, as the size of 6.3.3-h10 was suddenly quite a bit larger than normal. Of course, PAN didn't actually send any communication about it being pulled as far as I can tell.
The complaint is 100% valid and frankly isn't that unexpected or abnormal behavior for PAN. There is almost always known issues that never make it into the release notes under known issues, and the quality of the addressed issues being accurate is also not 100% accurate either. It's upsetting to know that PAN customers sometimes contact support regarding an issue, only to find out that the company knew the issue was present and simply never bothered to document them within the known issues of the release notes.
We've also seen hotfix updates for the released hotfix updates, which just shows continued lack of proper validation and testing before they push something out. I get that updates aren't going to heavily tested before being put out when they're addressing security issues and need to release a dozen or more updates due to customer version spread, but if the code quality was actually better you wouldn't have customers spread out all over the place either and customers wouldn't be so reluctant to move from what they know is working.
