Does KB973917 take out IIS6?

There seems to be no talk of it here, so I'm hoping not, but this update can
cause a pretty nasty problem on Server 2003 anyway:

I'd much sooner uninstall it than apply SP2 again, that's for sure, but I'm
not going to install it at all until I can verify that "one or more of the
core IIS .dll files" aren't at the proper version level, which is apparently
what causes the problem. Unfortunately, MS isn't specific.

That's surprising, since that tool is updated only extremely rarely. I don't
see anything since April, and I've checked for updates. This particular
problem only became apparent with a new patch, and it's not one MS
anticipated or they would have written the patch differently.

Plus, I have quite low confidence in BPA. For example, it's telling me that
WSUS v3 is at RTM and SP1 is available. I already have a later SP. Likewise,
it says that I should install the more than two year-old KB911829.
