KB905474 withdrawn?

I have so far prevented the Windows XP KB905474 update from installing
because it is described as beta software and I make it a practice to
never install beta software. I set Windows Update to hide that update.
But every time I ran Windows Update, it informed me that I had hidden a
critical update.

Suddenly, that has changed. I went to download the VML exploit patch,
KB925486, and I am no longer reminded that I have hidden a critical
update, nor do I have any hidden updates. I checked for the wganotify
files to see if it had gotten past me, but they aren't there. I can only
surmise that in response to numerous users who have reported false
triggering of the WGA Notification nags MS has withdrawn that update, at
least for now.

I wonder if Windows Update has been set to remove KB905474 if it has
already been installed?
