This is a pretty silly distinction. You are right that 10.6.4 is not
(yet) a "reference"[1] release, but many people on this list would consider it
trivial to make bootable media using that update to get a 10.6.4 system that
can boot systems that came out since 10.6.3 (presumably... this usually works
but I have not tried it yet with the new hardware). It is not even that
difficult to make an installer disk that will install a 10.6.4 system just like
a reference release would.
[1] This is generally what I have heard OS release called when Apple updates
the version of the OS disks that it sells at stores.
