Yep. Messes up Intellishare until all are on the later version. Unless V6 collaborators are disinherited, this ends up with an A and a B master as best case. The B master collects and returns V6 merges, copies being merged to the V7 A master along with contributions from V7 collaborators. V7

The mix-up is in wording the definition of ancestor. You would be right to say that the child would not be an ancestor in the defined sense of the word (such as a remote grandparent). However, there is still a genetic relationship so many still call them ancestors. So, my unnamed Aunts and Uncles
