No you are correct on this as far as the past tense process.
Just though it would be nice to note in the 7.5.5 changelog that the zip was updated why and when. And the version did not change.
Just would be a nice kinda thing to have.
Then we can view the changelog to see if anything changed on the zip file instead of scrolling through the bug forum and not knowing if a fix will be in a future release or is in the zip file already with the current version.
