Re: [v6ops] reclassify 464XLAT as standard instead of info

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

No need to stress terms like billions; that's what modem manufacturers 
put on the market too routinely.  Maybe we can talk trillions of IoT 
devices.  Maybe we can use the SI prefixes, like exa, or peta.

That aside, I would like to ask you whether the CLAT src on Android is 
something I could look at?
