It appears this has to mainly do with some under-the-hood fixes that are potentially involved in stopping the firmware of the console from getting hacked in order to enable homebrew access. The complete 3DS security was blown apart by hackers so it is not a big surprise to see Nintendo resort to such system software updates.
