This fails to answer the question, as you already found out.  You need
to say *which* versions contain which updates.  I believe a useful
answer will include these facts:

2007 USA changes:
	8.0.4 and later, all 8.1.x and up
2007 Canada and Western Australia changes:
	8.0.10 and later, 8.1.6 and later, all 8.2.x and up
