why no 2.08 ROM?

[psywzrd]

I understand that HTC never made the 2.08 ROM available for download but I'm trying to figure out why it can't be extracted from a Mogul that's still at 2.08 (like mine was before I made the dumb decision to upgrade to 2.16). With all of the custom ROMs and hacks available, I would think that making the 2.08 ROM available as a download would be a piece of cake for the bright minds who work on these things, but it must be more complicated than that. Please don't get me wrong- I'm not trying to criticize anyone or question anyone's knowledge. I'm just trying to understand the technical reasons behing the lack of an available 2.08 ROM.

If someone can please explain it to me in layman's terms, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm desperate for 2.08 because I have a good Sprite backup of my Mogul at that ROM, and I'd like to do a restore. Flashing to 2.09 is a last resort since it would require installing everything from scratch and I just went through that with the 2.16 upgrade (plus I'm going to have to do it again when/if the new ROM comes out in 200.
