Hiro,
Are you sure 10.2.7 never saw general release? I thought it did.
Anyway, the larger point holds. When the G5 iMacs were introduced, they had a custom build of whatever version of Panther was current at that time. Same with the mini, and same with (I presume) the new PowerBooks.
For those criticizing Apple for this practice, how else are they supposed to introduce machine-specific features? The new PowerBooks have a new scrolling touchpad, which needs to be supported by the OS, hence the machine-specific revision of 10.3.7. When 10.3.8 is released, everyone will be back on the same footing again, but it doesn't make sense to release an entirely new build of OS X to *everyone* when the only changes are added support for newly released machines.

Hmm, I remember differently.
OSX10.2.7 was created for G5 initial shipment, which was never released
to general public, while OSX10.2.8 followed immediately after, which
included some security patches that OSX10.2.7 added to OSX10.2.6. This
was the main reason OSX10.2.6 was the last known most stable Jag for non G5.
