Heh. No, I guess you choose your poison (unneccessary addendums and
inaccuracies vs incompleteness). I haven't personally yet found this
to be a problem, and don't record that much stuff - although I'm only
1 hour into the EIT data. If I do get OCD over the "new" and "all new"
bollocks there's always the rabbit hole of mhegsnoop and script fixes.
Blue pill, red pill. Either way it's nice to have another choice in
the matter.
