Just saw another build 16A323 at the Dev Portal. Last one was 16A322.

Apple's definition for GM has really changed...

Not GM, rather GM candidate. There were multiple GM candidate builds for Yosemite and El Capitan as well.

Could be that some minor bugs are being fixed prior to release in these builds, that I certainly wouldn't object to. But since I'm already running 16A322 it's probably not worth going through the hassle of performing another installation with the full installer.

Except last year, they were clearly labeled as "GM Candidate". This year, they're just labeled as "GM".

Not complaining BTW. Actually tickled me a bit...

Nope. It's a GM Candidate. Always has been. The El Capitan GM was also different a newer build than the GM candidate last year, though they never released a new candidate in between.
