Putting LDKP protocol inside the 6012/88xx extender
I have a request for one of the experts out there. Please, please put the 6012 LDKP protocol inside the 6012 extender image. My guess is it is a 10 minute worth chore, but would make it easier on users of this extender (which is extremely popular). Unfortunately, I don't know where to begin with this, so I can't do it myself.

I wonder how many people nearly run into eeprom capacity issues from the extender install process.
After you install the extender, you can remove special protocols if you don't need them, and don't want to waste the space, but that only works if they fit. Otherwise you can't get that far.
If we continue making progress on the new file format for IR.EXE (and if I get around to making ExtIntall use that new format) we could have ExtInstall put more upgrades and/or KeyMoves/Macros into the new image than actually fit, then have IR.EXE able to manage the file despite having too much content. On any upload (to remote) attempt, IR could inform the user that it won't fit and tell him which kind of object must be removed, but then the user decides what to do about it.
Without that, maybe it's still a good idea to add LDKP to the 6012 extender. I don't have enough real examples of extender use to know whether any significant number of people get close to that capacity issue during the install process itself.
