That's fine, there were hardly any changes in this area this year
so 6.18 should be about equivalent to any 7.x. And it's the only one
of them which will stay supported (here) for a few years.

At this point just see if it works. These patches don't affect HW

And this patch should ignore every case ignored by the old one.
