It is a different game, a different rule (albeit only a small difference - but a significant one), a different set of referees, a different software environment, and a different membership on the GDC that wrote the rules. But perhaps most significantly, the FIRST "powers that be" now have a full year of experience with how teams complied (or didn't comply) with the software development rules from last year. That is sure to influence what they expect from the teams this year, and how they will enforce the rules. Based on that, I would not be willing to use a 2005 Q&A response to make any assumptions about 2006.

OK, I've submitted a question to the 2006 "powers that be".
