Apple Preparing to Issue Developer Seeds of Mac OS X 10.6.4?

iPhone in Canada reports that Apple is set to begin seeding builds of Mac OS X 10.6.4 to developers in the near future, moving development forward on the next maintenance release for Snow Leopard.

This week, in less than a month later since the last OS X release, Apple seems to be pushing forward with plans to update Snow Leopard. We have received reports that Apple is preparing to begin testing of the next main revision of Snow Leopard, version 10.6.4.

Apple began seeding the now-current Mac OS X 10.6.3 to developers in early January, but it remained in that stage of testing and refinement for nearly three months before being released to the public in late March. Apple's timeframes for developer seeds can be highly variable, however, and we are thus unable to predict when Mac OS X 10.6.4 might make its public appearance. Mac OS X 10.6.2, for example, spent only about a month in its developer testing phase.

Yes, Apple is preparing a developer release of 10.6.4...

We know this because 10.6.3 is out.

Did anyone think '.3 was going to be the last version of 10.6?

Hopefully this will fix the problem with 10.6.3 and scrambling screens when using a projector.

I've been having some mobileme syncing problems. Maintenance is always good.

Oy, what passes for front page news these days. I'd merge this with the Letterman Top Ten thread and call it Top 10 Things Make you Go Duh.

I haven't experienced any issues on 10.6.3, it will be interesting to see what Apple has in store for 10.6.4.

Good news. Honestly, I'm very content with Snow Leopard thus far. Keep the maintenance updates coming, but I really don't see the need for 10.7 for a while.

Of course, I'm speaking of my own personal experience. I don't know about others, but 10.6 has been very solid for me.

Is this likely just bug fixes, or feature adds?
