[comp.sys.mac.system] Will System 7.0 be on d e v e l o p CD?

On the  d e v e l o p  CD's which I've received up until now there have been
full copies of the current System Software release (for all countries, no less! 

Anyway, I'm curious whether System 7.0 will be included on the  d e v e l o p 
CD.  If not, why not?  

Since System 7 may cost from $50-100 dollars, and since one could save that
money if one were to get it in one's regular CD subscription, one could put
that money towards the new Apple CD ROM reader debuting in June (I used a
friend's reader to look at the  d e v e l o p  disk).

My understanding is that it will be included in the normal Developer Essentials CD's.  Note that the $50-$100 version from dealers will include all the disks plus full documentation.  You won't get that documentation in CD versions.
