Hi Finn, Andrey,

Finn,
thank you for putting me back to the thread, appreciated.
And i agree with you, may be git revert followed by independent patch
which removes Series-9 mentions is easier to read, so sending the second
version - in that way.


Andrey,
please take a look at the new version patches, hope it's easier to understand.

And talking about the helper: i thought about leaving it, but we have several places which check for Series 7 and 8 only
and several places which check for Series 6,7,8, so either
- we need 2 helpers
- we have a helper to check for Series 7,8 only and in some places will have a check for Series 6 + helper
- introduce the helper with parameter

Honestly i don't like any of variants above, so just left the code without helper,
not that many checks and easier to read the code IMHO.

Thank you!
