Did not know about the patent so that's helpful and yes, why is this not included at all levels and maybe it will be if a firmware update can indeed fix this was my point. In my opinion, and I'm sure there will be others, this isn't a premium feature as much as it's what should be included.
I was happy to see the backward, to a point, compatibility. I'm hoping that SRAM will embrace this more going forward.
