Yep, I was told this by support when I talked with them Monday. They SPECIFICALLY mentioned this (I was getting a cum tape, hiper and the Y2K stuff for V4R1...) and I started to ask WHY they did that with this one but got sidetracked. I do seem to remember someone else posting that to Midrange-L earlier this month or I got an alert from SOMEWHERE else.
