Any reason for the new numbering system?
Any reason for the new numbering system?
Probably to make the numbering easier to follow (i.e. if you see 2005-004, you know its the 4th update for the year, while 2005-03-30 tells us nothing except its from the 30th).
Has it been withdrawn? doesn't appear in Software Update (10.3.7) and can't find on Apple UK's os x downloads page.

The previous numbering scheme told us the update's release date. Year-Month-Day
For example: http://Security Update 2004-12-02 v....10.2.8 Client) was released on December 2, 2004
You can confim this by clicking the link to this update's information page and checking the Post Date in the information box at the top right hand side of the page.
Much more informatitive than the new numbering scheme. IMO.

Now seems to be available through software update.
