Code that jut has the literal "64" in it for something that is variable
can take this opportunity to get fixed.  Also note we are working up at
*-tracking on this, so it is not going to be on peoples' devices
overnight randomly.

Werner's saying incrementing things will break with non 1:1 hardware
step and logical backlight level.  Is it true, or just more "plausible
bullshit"?  That is something that can be determined / fixed.
