But they have changed it and it won't stay the same (even if the first Gen3 will be v1.9), as I doubt each time they'll release a new firmware for the Opus (fixing Opus-releated bugs) they'll release a new one for the Gen3 and vice-versa...

In fact, this'll be even more confusing (normally higher number = more advanced) and will the Opus Mobi-FW (if it ever comes) be v1.4?! Not very logical or transparent and misleading for the user...
