2.0 should have a much better algorithm for calculating K yes, this is
completely cosmetic though it makes no difference to the images (see
below).

Temperature values are just a helper, they're not used directly.
Whatever red/green/blue multipliers have been set for the image will
still be used and the temperate value is calculated from these on
display. Having a temperature slider is just a convenient way to label
the slider in a way that's reasonably consistent between cameras. In
this case the consistency was not there but the slider worked just as
well and the WB that it set is perfectly valid and will be used going
forward.

To further reinforce the point we don't break history stacks, so if
for some unavoidable reason we had to introduce some kind of change
we'd have told everyone about it.

Cheers,

Pedro
