Clearing out G5s?

In the most recent Apple Developer mailing, Apple is offering special pricing for PowerMac 1.6GHz G5s for ADC Select and Premier members.

ADC is pleased to offer special pricing on the Power Mac G5 1.6GHz to ADC Select and Premier members in the United States and Europe. Through June 26, ADC Select and Premier members can purchase up to five Power Mac G5 1.6GHz systems through the ADC Hardware Purchase Program, without affecting annual hardware discount purchase limits.

Speculation, of course, points to Apple clearing out the low end PowerMac G5s. June 26th also coincides with the end of the Brilliant Savings Promo and is 2 days prior to the start of WWDC.
