At this point, let's just make it so that the old behavior is unchanged for old firmwares, meaning from both an API standpoint as well as what the values are. At some point if somebody cares enough to go back and fix the support so that the controls actually work with old firmwares, they can take that up as a separate task. In reality, it is likely that nobody will ever do that, as the "easy answer" is just to upgrade to firmware 16. Taylor, could you please tweak your patch to that effect and resubmit?
