  Is there some documentation suggesting that "the HIPER and DB groups 
are in the" cumulative?  I am almost positive that is untrue for the DB 
PTFs.  Since non-HIPer groups are established on a schedule outside of 
the cumulative, any newer PTFs would not be on the current cumulative, 
yet could still be on a group.  I recall many times that the DB group 
would have PTFs included that I had not yet approved for inclusion on 
any cumulative; those same PTFs might not make any future cumulative. 
Additionally, the next paragraph seems to contradict the statement that 
the HIPer PTFs are included in the cumulative.  That is, if the HIPer 
PTFs are in the cumulative, then what would be the point in applying 
both a HIPer group and the cumulative, when applying just the cumulative 
would handle both?
