This is a problem, it means 2.6.3 is not a simple drop-in replacement for 2.6.2

problem in organizations with strict configuration management where you cannot
install new software without going to lots of red tape (and that might involve
lawyers when you install a new package instead of upgrading an existing one).
This would be a problem if distribute were in general release. It's
not. It's clearly a development branch which is intended to move
quickly. People using distribute are taking development, pre-alpha
kinds of risk and that has been made pretty clear already.
