Ps Reissuing a certificate hardly required a large amount of work. Not long ago, apps from the Mac app store refused to launch because of an expired security certificate. It is trivial to reissue these things, yet even big companies like Apple can occasionally get caught with their pants down. I'm guessing as apart of that recent snafu, someone at Apple realized these needed to reissue certificates, so why not make sure any version of OS X compatible with the app store gets one reissued?

People see Snow Leopard update and think there's some sort of big code launch that software engineers had to slave over, but it's largely just a certificate being reissued. There's no reason not to reissue a new certificate, so kudos to Apple for doing the right thing and taking the ten minutes to roll one out. I will give props to any improvements in the notifications, that might have taken a little work, but I'm guessing it relates to not showing updates for apps not compatible with the host system. So some sort of compatibility check (i.e. Is this installed version older than version of OS X, yes or no?), but I could be wrong.
