Of course there will, but the problem will be the same, digital or CD.

WHen you release a major piece of software, you don't put every patch on. You decide on a completion point, called a Gold Master. Once it's gold master, the image goes to the CD presser, or to the download site. You would want these the same. If you go to WoW's download site and get the Wrath download, it's not 4.0.1a, it's wrath 3.0.2 - the shipping version from Nov. 2008.

Why? Well, constancy mostly. You don't want multiple Gold Masters running around. It's easier to have one, then the update process will be consistent.
