We could, but we refer to the first build.  I wouldn't think that this 
change is necessary.  However, I didn't think the change to pass 1 was 
unclear either.  The change already made was to prevent users from 
assuming things that were not stated.  I'd think that if they would 
recognize that this was the same.

Let's wait to see if we get any questions on this.
