WI: R* releases Hot Coffee patch on its own as planned?

I'm reading Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto and in it there was quite a bit about their future plans for updating San Andreas, one of which was releasing a patch that unlocks the so dubbed 'Hot Coffee' mod that allows visual sex among other things.

So lets say the modders hadn't gotten to it first and Rockstar released the patch, would that have made it any better? Still an A-O rating?

Or would it have slid in all sneaky like and brought visual sex to the medium much sooner?
 
Ironically i think that would have hurt R* worse that hapenned OTL, during that era the so called 'Moral Guardians' were in rage thanks to the popularity of GTA 3D series, if the company released they still would have ammuniiton against them and now can mention that was intentional(even if was made for Adult Only as planned).

let's say not and R* sneaks that.. maybe that will start a market for full Adults Only game(Manhunt Uncesored, more creppy horro games, similar)
 
I always found it funny that GTA got a lot of flak for violent content, yet games like Dungeon Keeper and God of War were even worse, compared to top-down GTA and 3d GTA respectively, yet didn't get anywhere near the same flak.
