If it's Patch Tuesday but there aren't any patches, is it really Patch Tuesday?

Today is the second Tuesday of February, and that means it should be Microsoft's Patch Tuesday. It should be a big Patch Tuesday, too. First, there's an in-the-wild zero-day flaw in SMB, Microsoft's file sharing protocol, that at the very least allows systems to be crashed, and the patch should be released today.

Generally, the phrase "In the wild" means that code has been published some place.
