The last change I remember to a GM was the 4.2 iOS GM that included a showstopping wifi bug. IIRC, that resulted in a 4.2.1 which devs could patch on top of 4.2, and the public release being 4.2.1. But that was iOS and they could do OS X differently. Potentially a "supplemental update"? I don't recall a change to an OS X GM in all the time I've been beta testing them.

All that said, it's been several days since the GM seed and the Mac blogs aren't fired up with gossip about a big Mavericks bug, so fingers crossed...
