Yeah, but htt version is an interface version and I'm having a hard time
to believe that someone will mistake that as the actual firmware
version.

But what people confuse is the FW API version. When I ask what firmware
version you have way too often I get "firmware-3.bin" as a reply :) But
I have no ideas how to solve that.
