So has this change been incorporated in the latest downloadable flasher
images?  If so it might be a good thing to note both here and on any

that images *AFTER* said date have this change.  Though many do not, we
ought hold people responsible for reading the directions and documentation
and link them to appropriate authoritative sources whenever possible.
