So... we'll see

It doesn't help I know, sorry!

Apologies for posting a second time, but is there any chance of turning this into a poll?

I've got no rights for this, but maybe a mod would be so kind to do it?

I think you'd need to start a new topic.  If you do, bear in mind that the value is now floating point, so you may need to use options like "-V2(.X)", rather than "-V2".  or maybe ask people to round their value to the nearest integer.  A separate question asking if anyone is actually using a floating point value may be interesting...

Not even if you start a new thread in the Polls forum?  I have no idea, and I can't really test.

I have to dash home now, but I may be able to create a thread later if you really can't.
