Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F5)
Apple has seeded the first version of Mac OS X 10.5.5 (Build 9F5) to developers tonight. This is the first new seed of Mac OS X since the released of Mac OS X 10.5.4 on June 30th.
Apple instructs developers to focus on testing a number of areas including Time Machine, AirPort, Networking, Spotlight, and many others. Apple details over 83 other bug fixes and issues addressed including a few potential kernel panic scenarios.
At this early stage, there appear to be some major issues as Apple warns developers not to install this seed on the MacBook Air, MacBook, Mac Mini, iMac (with Intel integrated graphics).

Not to be installed on those because....they're getting graphics updates?
Also, i hope this makes Safari Snappier, and also that iPhone OS 2.1 makes MobileSafari Zoomier

I wonder if anyone can find any hints about product revisions??? I know it's not likely in an OS update release but, maybe ??? ;)

Try, they're the ones NOT getting updates. Apple wouldn't spend money updating the 17" iMac anymore...
Yes, they still sell 17" iMacs.

If anything there will be an update for the new hardware and for now they're throwing out all the integrated graphics drivers to not reveal the new chips that will be in the new macbooks

I am wondering why they would restrict the update from computers with the Integrated Graphics, is there a change that will improve them that Apple hasn't completed yet, or is it something simple like they haven't built in the drivers for it into the beta yet? I guess we will have to see.
One thing that I am hoping that they fix in 10.5.5 is finally smoothing out the grid graphics for large grids (like the Applications folder). The animation has always been choppy and slow since 10.5(.0), and the best that they have done to improve it is making it equally choppy throughout, and not random. I am hoping that this is finally fixed here, it can't be all that difficult of a fix, can it?
