Guy, in your prior email you proposed the following:
What I propose is a setup mode option to enable sorting with the feeder. This can be saved on the memory card so that it need not be reset every time the AV is powered on. Comments?
I thought that was reasonable, giving everyone a chance to select the method they wanted to use. I agree that just to "add it back" will create problems for others as we move forward trying to track what features are imbedded in different versions. With your suggestion users of either method can be on the same rev., get what they want, and its easier for Global to administer. This seems like the way to go to me.

And I expect that doing a custom release based on f< would require a lot more than just accepting races with no candidates. Also we need very strong justification for any custom release.
