Right. Its just voltage in this case, but we can't speak of future
platforms here and we have to consider this thing as an operating
performance point only. I still think that this thread is moving in
the right direction, specially after V6 which looks much better.

If we have anything strong against the way V6 is trying to solve it, I
want to talk about it right now and get inputs from all the parties
involved. Scrapping all this work is fine, but I would like to do it
ASAP in that case :)
