IMO the V8Q list has signficantly reduced the quality of air conditioning
information on the main list.  The digital head used in the later Type
44s is almost identical to the V8Q unit, but poorly documented.  The V8Q
people have much higher skill levels with a/c, and they are lost to the
Type 44 people.
