Why is MS04-012 still not marked "obsolete" for Windows 2000?

Hi,

this would interest me a lot. As I simply do not like double work for no
obvious reason, I did a direct comparison of the old patch...

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-012.mspx

and the new patch

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS05-051.mspx

Clearly Microsoft states in the Security Update Information section that
especially for Win2k, MS05-051 does *NOT* replace the MS04-012 patch.
Yet I think it does.
Please take a look here. There is no file in the "old" patch which has
not been affected (updated or kept, like RPCRT4.DLL).

So could anyone tell me why you allegedly still need MS04-012 anyway?
