I've been yammering about the upcoming benchmark revisions for months before this report, I didn't include it in my post above because it was already mentioned in the OP (and I was in a severe time-bind). But the OP didn't specifically mention the previous 2 months' revisions which they do every month, so that's why I posted about that.

But yes, I should have mentioned the benchmark revisions as well.

Anyway, the above is the full before-and-after situtation with all revisions of all types included.
