These objects (G0097 and S0302) are both mobile objects and should only appear in the Mobile collection bundle. They are included in the Enterprise collection bundle because:

  • They were inadvertently included in the Enterprise v7.0 bundle
  • The script that we use to generate the current STIX 2.1 collection bundles has a step where it checks older versions of the collection bundle, looking for objects that are present in a an older version but missing from the current version, and adding them to the current version if found
  • In general, a missing object indicates an error--published objects should be deprecated, not deleted, and this step of the bundle generation process is designed to address any such errors. However, these objects (G0097 and S0302) present a different situation, and one that the bundle generation script doesn't handle correctly

We'll review the bundle generation script and make a change so that these objects are not included in the Enterprise v15.0 collection bundle.
