Rob,

This does not represent a change, V7s been this way from the start.    
The technology refreshes are mostly changes to LIC to support new 
hardware and exploit P7 hardware that did not make it into GA.  The real 
reason Larry and I generate our own distribution media is upgrade 
speed.  If you already have V7 patched with the latest groups etc. you 
save a great deal of time later when your able to avoid the load/apply 
of the PTFs during the upgrade.
