Hi Greg,

it basically is a new device ID addition (with a small glue code applied 
only to that device ID), and as such a left the stable markers there. But 
I don't have strong preference either way -- if you feel that this is 
beyond the 'new device ID' policy, I wouldn't object strongly.

Thanks,
