Indeed!

I think the "game market" term Roderick was looking for was "Reprint" - which, to judge from AEG's use means "We have corrected all the errors we could find, changed a couple of rules and moved a couple of sidebars - and if anyone asks the Rules Editors in 6 months time they'll deny any changes took place...."
