BUUUuuuuut - How can that be possible??? I mean, the "fixes" and "generic improvements" should be totally separate code from the Opus-specific code. For the "updates" to fail on a Gen3 when they work on an Opus would mean that the programmers violated several simple rules of programming.

1) Develop the core changes on the *OLDER* system.
2) Develop the changes in a modular form.
3) Don't tie the common-to-all-devices UI changes to platform-specific UI changes.

This is *NOT* rocket science; these rules have been around for decades!
