Apple seeds 2.1 Beta 4 to Developer sans push-notification

The other day Appled seeded the latest version of the iPhone SDK to developers.  This version was marked as 2.1 Beta 4, and added additional features and stability to the development kit.  However, what surprised many was the fact that this version removed all the protocols for the upcoming Push-Notification service that Apple hinted was coming in September to the iPhones.  Apple hasn’t made any comment on their reason for removing the development capabilities for the Push service, but many are speculating it is due to the fact that it wasn’t perfected yet.  I am in a way relieved if this is the true reason- we don’t want Apple pulling another MobileMe on us.
