I was under the impression that they simply "fixed" the one you got instead of sending you the latest model.
If they do indeed send new models, then "YES!" my new one is coming in, but then that also begs the question of it 360 numbers are further inflated by these replacement units.
According to most sources, the RRoD issue comes from heat in the unit that does one of two things.
A. Warps the motherboard.
B. Deteriorates the units soldering around the processor.
Most people actually claim that RRoD is actually an inevitability in all 360 consoles, but it will just take some longer than others. That's according to Wikipedia, anyways, which can be false, but as I understand it, until you send yours back in to MS, you'll never be "out of the woods" as it were.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
