Actually, it's not so much load on the 3G/4G network that they are concerned about. Pushing it in stages ensures that their update servers can handle the load at any one time. I remember back in the OG Droid days, one of the updates (Froyo I believe) overloaded the update infrastructure on the initial push, they had to suspend the push for several days while they upgraded their servers.

I'd actually be interested in the "boring" parts. Got any good links?
Yea, that makes sense. Certainly explains why only a small subset of users have seen 901 so far. At least OTA. Some users haven't even received 893 yet! Yikes.
With all the upset about people worrying about being off the upgrade path why are you risking this patch? Just wait till verizon pushes it to you and you will know for sure you are golden. Over the 45 pages of this thread i have seen more people talking about finding the update, asking if it overwrites 5.7.893, and asking if they are able to patch this and not get off the upgrade path.
I have only seen a handful that actually got this update pushed. I am waiting for verizon to push it to me...

I am getting a Bionic tomarrow from ebay. It is said to be on the stock 5.5.886 rooted with 43v3r root.
Without knowing any history on this phone, Can someone tell me how to tell if I will be able to get this update?
What should the system, webtop and kernel versions be for the 5.5.886?

true dat :d
Well here is confirmation from Motorola..it was a mistake but its official. https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/528817#528817
This "mistake" from motorola might be a blessing in disguise for those who have 5.7.893 installed. Think about it...now there are a few out there with 5.9.901 and 5.5.893....they will probably release one update now that updates everyone from whatever version they have. Of course this is provided that they release a final update of something higher than 5.9.901. If they just release 5.9.901 to everyone then they will more than likely just push out that update and those who already have it will be skipped.
dang, glad this just came out as I was ready to start flashing this update. I think I will wait to see what happens. I am still getting tons of dropped 3g all the time even running the OTA 5.5.893. Sometimes it comes back in a minute but most times its longer. I hate these leaks, killing my game playing time checking these threadsdancedroid
Please MOTO/Verizon....................release something for all of us to end our misery:hail::hail::hail::hail:
