Disclaimer: I really am only guessing here (Honest).

The most specific reason I could fathom would be CAN connectivity. The 2009 cRIO kit did not come with a CAN module. Will the 2010 kit have one? If so, I'd imagine that the specific module would be part of the Veteran KoP and the 2010 cRIO kit, so a team that bought a spare right now would have to buy a second CAN adaptor in January.
