DST patches without jumbo patch

Hello Managers,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible/advisable  to load the DST patch for 
5.1b without also loading the jumbo patches to bring 5.1b up to 5.1b-3?
ITRC seems to imply that the jumbo patch is a prerequisite.
I have a client who is running a proprietary application and database and 
they are hesitant to load the jumbo patch because of its potential impact 
on their application.


Thanks.
John
