I know that, I was talking about function since there are no instructions for a case like this. What I am asking is since 12 changes less files, what happens when 10 changes 19 files and then 12 only changes 17 leaving a hybrid of both 10 and 12?
I saw the differences in files but this doesn't mean that the updates must have the exact same files every time. Maybe the ones replaced or removed are not needed anymore.
It would be trivial to re-replace those 2 files then to ensure that both cases result in the same outcome. Is there actual documentation stating that DUs are only to be applied to base image and cannot/should not be stacked?
Don't really use these updates but my guess is that the functionality of the removed files was added to the other files included or not needed at all anymore. The replacement means that only the last one (update) is needed. Won't hurt if you add or overwrite files with each update but you will end up with unnecessary files in the end.
The DU for sources is not really needed, only for upgrade scenarios, checking the "download drivers and updates" option at setup should download them too. I've sent the question to @abbodi1406
I do a fair number of them. I run into a lot of systems that are 2 to 4 builds back so I like to have these integrated just in case.

Think about it from a different perspective. Most regular users have no idea about what Microsoft does when they expire updates. There are hundreds of millions of them and Microsoft will take care not to cause them a major impact if they don't remove the expired update. Most likely, one of the next updates will supersede the expired update and as such the whole thing will be forgotten. It is your choice what to do with the expired update. If you want a personal point of view, I normally uninstall expired updates, but this is only because I am aware of those expired updates, like most of us here. Almost everyone else, if you take in consideration the numbers, have no idea and should be safe as well.
