Did I miss a meeting with the card text migrations?

Around the time Sabbat War was printed, Elysium: the Arboretum was errated to end combat only between opposing Camarilla vampires, instead of any two vampires. For some reason, this is listed as a "Card text migration" - even though there was no new copy of E:tA printed in Sabbat War. This should be errata, I think. It was my understanding that there needed to be an actual new, reprinted card to call it a "Card text migration", no? Fred

[ quoted text not captured ] No errata needed - that's a rule from the rulebook. [10.1] But you're right - it's not a card text migration, it's a rulebook migration. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

This should be listed differently in "Card Text Migrations" somehow so people like me don't bang their head (on their desk, deliberately, when they hear the answer). I'm sure I heard this before back when it happened. Next year or the year after, I'll probably notice the same thing and be confused again. It would be nice if the "SW" next to the third entry for Elysium, The Arboretum hand an asterisk or something alerting people to the fact that this was due to a change in the game rules, not a new card. Fred (maybe here's my card that's like smoking pot - I'm thinking, "what the hell's going on?!?", disoriented, confused by reality...)
