Hi, I'm testing this and I see it still doesn't result in the same metrics
as Pd-Extended, making everything compatible between cross platforms, but
also compatible to extended (and purr data by extent).

I've inquired before if that was the goal, and @danomatika 's answer was
"yes", and that it simply didn't have that change applied yet. So it seems
it still hasn't been applied, right?

So, do we still need further discussion before applying this change?

Cause the way things are right now, there's a metrics change that
compromise backwards compatibility and it would change and compromise many
of cyclone's documentation, for instance. So I'm not that happy if it would
be included as is.

cheers
