I have the same opinion, the port is ready for daily use:
        - the LCD glitches do not render the device unusable
        - recording is not essential, and if necessary to someone there
          is still the option to reboot to OF
        - the battery life is decent even if not equal or better to the
          battery life of OF (and you have a patch to improve it,
          right?)
