They are upgrading 07 hires AND not far from being done with those. Hiring was S L O W for a few years, so not many 08 hires (if any). Not much hiring again until 12 (a few 09). There's a sizable gap from 07 to 12 and it wouldn't take much movement to be upgrading the 12's in a lot less than 6 years. There are guys hired in 12 who have the time to upgrade now so they probably won't even be around long enough to have to worry about it.
