I must have missed that part of discussion. If the voltage fully
overlaps with the MMC definition, then I don't see the controllers
having to be designed explicitly for SD 3.0. If not, then we probably
need a new voltage bit for the hosts. In that case separating
supporting from non-supporting should sort itself out easily.

Agreed.

Btw, you really need to whip some sense into the line handling of your
email client. :)
