and YES I agree, the remaining V5 vs V6 issues seem small

BTW, there is a way to work around the v5 issue in software. Because the
LED in an unmodified v5 shines 6 or so times as bright as it should (and
eats 6 times more power), the solution is to correct the brightness with
PWM to reduce it 6 times. This would bring the brightness and power
consumption to normal.
Well, I didn't know there was also this software "workaround", since the
only that was stated was turning off the LED itself...
Anyway, according to the latest news also the v5 hardware shipped in MP
will be fixed, so also this issue is gone away...
However, I suspect that for many community
members who were so eager to prefer v6 over v5, simply knowing that
there is a workaround, and thus no known unavoidable hardware bugs exist
in v5, would be enough, and actually implementing the workaround would
not be that important. :-)
Well, a workaround like this can be considered something like a real fix
imho :P
