I guess the required changes for preloading at least the very first data block of each slice aren’t technically that complicated to accomplish. But the firmware has maxed out its available code space. So to fit in any new feature means rewriting and optimizing code somewhere else to squeeze out some free bytes for the new code. As you can imagine this isn’t an easy task. My guess i…
