There's not usually a FP/CF/etc. update for an initial .0 release, except waaaay back in R5 (5.0a was released).

We never see fix packs until after the .1 or .2 release of a major version. Can somebody explain why this is? I'm just curious.

In 8.0 the first FP was 8.0.2FP1 -- were 8.0 and 8.0.1 so solid that it didn't need them? What about 7.0? 6.0, 6.5, and 6.5.1 didn't have them either.
