A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Printer(?)

Did the CBO goof or did it change the naming convention for its annual 10-year outlook report? Last year (Jan. 2007), the CBO released "The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2008 to 2017." This year (today, in fact), the CBO released "The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2008 to 2018." What's going on? Both reports cover the same forecasting window, so that hasn't changed. My first scan of this year's report hasn't caught a note explaining the difference in naming convention. Anyone out there care to venture a guess?
