Here's my experience with obtaining 3.0.1 in our department:

SUN takes 60 (!!) days between receipt of order and shipment of same for
the upgrades.

New versions of 3.0.1 ship much (MUCH) faster and can also be used for
upgrades (but not for multiple installations, obviously).

3.0.1 is REQUIRED for use with DOS 4.0.1 (you're wouldn't really try to
use version 4.0, would you!?!?!)
