The thinking is that with 35mm the difference may be slight, but with 
digital, the difference will be greater. 16mm on a D30 approximates the 
field of view of a 24mm lens, while that of a 17mm more closely resembles a 
28mm lens.

Had they announced modifying a 28~80 to a newer 24~80, no one would be 
asking why.
