This could be the golden master, as this is just a software update which too can be applied afther the golden master is shipped, and when people install they can still make some updates;)

It takes 2-3 weeks, so they will have to declare GM by October 10-17 to have it on shelves by the end of the month. Doesn't mean that we'll know same day though.
