Personally, I doubt it. Even if it is, though, we will likely not hear about it since hw does not like to accknowledge mistakes like this and would rather fix them quietly. Examples: 1. Some upgrades ago, saving a non-keyword format file was likely to result in a corruption of the file. This seems to have been fixed in 7.5 or 8, yet we never heard about the fix. 2. When ks5.1 gave the classic the ability to play mp3 files, they sounded good. With the upgrade to 6.11, though, they suddenly sounded choppy, and the classic would often freeze when trying to play a media file. The mPower fixed this with its initial release of 6.2, but it was not until 7 that the classic fixed it, yet there was never a mention of the fix in the upgrade documentation.
