This happened before with the Nexus One and Nexus 4. Interestingly, the One, 4, and 7 comprise all the Nexus devices to have Qualcomm SoCs.

I'm guessing the old N7 got factory images so quickly as it was uses a pretty old GPU at the time. Having owned a Nexus One I was pretty sad there were no factory images

Also, it was not a Qualcomm chip....

The 2012 N7 had an nVidia GPU, so no Qualcomm to mess with it
