Ah, I gotcha
. Yea, not unlike how the PR on the 22xx was extended not long ago (not sure if that had to do with the introduction of silicon spring or something else).
Yes, incremental improvements are always nice, and if they could, for example, keep a fundamentally flawed design working properly in five-year intervals (vs. one or two-years) that would also satisfy most.
