That's *your* way to read my words ;-)
My posting contained nothing official nor any approvement.

For sure not, as any "official" fix (that may or may not be included in A7, 
I'm pushing it but result is somewhat... hmm, limited) for sure simply will 
rearrange layout to make space for decent 100uF in place of the former 1uF 
C4110/C4111.
