Please, don't do that. Changing the name of the firmware and breaking
the format is a bad idea, specially since you're not supporting anymore
the legacy one.

I would be ok if you were not breaking support for the old firmware
file.

Also, better to use lowercase for the firmware name.

PS.: I'm not applying patch 6/7 as this got rejected.

Regards,
Mauro
