Question about Ford incremental updates-what they address

6500rpm

So I've had my 2013 SHO for 2 years and I'm a large fleet Tech so I have access to IDS. The things been trouble free so I really haven't done much to it to this point, but today after work I thought I'd check some modules for updates. The PCM had a pop from DG1A-12A650-AYC to the latest DG1A-12A650-AYD. Short of a TSB or SSM in Oasis telling you to update for a specific concern, as far as I know Ford doesn't arbitrarily just update modules just because a later update is available (Hyundai/Kia says if you find an update-do it no questions asked).
Is there a known reference that I can look at that will tell me what the new update addresses? I updated the PCM and drove it home today and really didn't notice any change, possibly shift apply is a bit faster (or possibly just my imagination wanting it to be). I also updated the RFA module which jumped from last digits AE to CB so it may have been a few behind. I just crossed the 60,000 mi point and plan to contact Livernois for one of their tunes.  I also have a OBDlink MX sitting in front of me with FORscan loaded up ready to start exploring what I can tweek and look at at home. If anyone can shed some light on the factory updates, I'm curious. Kind of funny when you fix these things for a living you tend to gloss over stuff and just fix the car, where the hobby guys pick up on details about what you can play with.

Thanks,
Mark

Z, our cars are probably brothers if I remember your build sheet. Mine is another 13 Ruby Red Metalic, PP. BUILD DATE: 26-NOVEMBER-2012 and last 8 of the VIN is "DG183431". It's pretty much loaded with every option.  I'll take any information you're willing to share, it's about time for me to start playing with things that aren't cosmetic. Thanks for the link.
