This update came suddenly, but was hardly unexpected. As recently as last week, Apple released a developer build (9L30) for testing. That build had no outstanding issues and indiacated development was coming to an end.

In a side note, this may very well be the last update to Leopard as Snow Leopard is scheduled for release next month and may require all available engineering talent at Apple to complete on time.
