Do you mean they extracted it and rebuilt it for the spleen version?

I was referring to this post.

The version that ended up on spleen was just the exact extracted ISO from Usenet. No changes were made. Not intentionally, anyway.

I took it to mean that the ISO had been extracted – somebody always does this. People don’t always view extracting it as changing it, which is how I interpreted the second half of the post. Maybe I misinterpreted it, but it’s happened before that extracting the ISO has caused problems with checksums and the like.
