R/3 Kernel and IBM Infoapar 520

We just downloaded the latest 3.1I_EXT 64bit kernel #748 from the ever so fast SAP Service Marketplace - that's a whole other topic on its own, but we'll get to that later. We extracted the infoapar.520 stream file from this kernel and noted the apar was last updated 8/13/2004. But, the apar on the IBM site was updated on 9/27/2004 and it has a new cumulative package(4244), New hipers, new Java pack, new DBfix Pack. What I'm in the dark about is since I donwloaded the LATEST! Kernel from SAP and it includes an old infoapar.520 which the CHKR3PTF program uses when you apply the kernel - when are all these new PTFs tested with the SAP Kernel. Should't the latest kernel have the latest apar?
