“USB 4 version 2.0”. Right, right right right. Because USB-C, Thunderbolt-3, USB 2 power cable, USB 3, USB 4/Thunderbolt-4, etc etc are not confusing enough.

@drahardja That reminds me of System 7.5.3 revision 2.

7.5.3 had a nasty bug found after GM so we (engineering) GM’d 7.5.4 with the fix. Marketing, for some reason, had lots of material printed with 7.5.3, a bug fix version, so they insisted we ship 7.5.3 instead of 7.5.4. Thus, System 7.5.3 revision 2.

@jimluther @drahardja We had a similar hack: We didn't want every user to re-download the current version just for an update with the driver for a device they didn’t have. So we would re-release the same version (with a different build number, that our software update check wouldn't see).

Ofc. this necessitated a mechanism to force updating to the newer build for those people who had already had an older device and now got the new one, as those needed the new driver after all. 😅

@jimluther @drahardja I always wondered what was up with Revision 2. Did 7.5.4 ever ship on its own? I remember jumping to 7.5.5 after 7.5.3 rev 2
