Shimano is replacing three budget groupsets of Alivio, Acera, Altus* etc with one new groupset.
Cues.
Except this is actually three new groupsets. Just sharing the same name and a number for the range. Doh!
It will be useful if they make this the across budget groupset for all bikes, scraping the road vs mtb and a bit in the middle mess we have now.
Anyway, the main reason for pointing it out is buying your 9 speed cassette are going to be wrong the future.

And this is likely to be the keep the old bike going groupset.
*Of course many of us know these correctly as the Exage groupsets, be it Mountain LX or 300LX
