Toro Lawnmower Blade Overide System

Just checked Toro's web site to check out new models. They have something they call their BOS or Blade Overide System in the top of the line mowers. Anyone know what the heck that is? They really should explain it if they are going to flaunt it, don't you think?
Ariens 824 Sno Thro, Toro 18" Gas Trimmer, Craftsman 3.5 HP 9" Edger/Trimmer, Echo SRM230 Trimmer/Brush Cutter, Toro 21" Recycler II Mower, Craftsman 8.5 HP Chipper/Shredder, Craftsman 25cc GAs Blower/Vac, Husky Y1000 Air Compressor, Homelite EZ ChainSaw, Husky Chain Saw

Toro BOSBlade Override System
Stops the blade and allows you to step away from the mower momentarily without having to restart the engine when you return. Toro BBC Blade Brake Clutch (BBC)
Eliminate downtime and extend rope life with innovative BBC design that stops the blade from spinning while the engine continues to run and the transmission continues to operate. Only available on models 22043, 22172, and 22177 They sound a little different to me. Never heard of a BOS either. Can't imagine a marketing guy getting paid for something so close to POS. With a BBC on the Toro you can stop the blade and keep the self propel engaged and the engine running. What's a POS, I mean BOS, don't know.
