So I assume I put 6.6 in here? Or will it be 6.7?

As I'm making other changes I assume I address this one too.

Will do - not sure why I did that in the first place (it's a habit from a looong time ago that came back. Sigh).
Thanks!

Yes this should be 6.6 .

Please skip fixing / do not fix this one. The goal of having
a "," after the last (non terminating) entry of an array
is to avoid getting the last line listed as modified in the diff
when adding further entries just to add the ','.
So fixing this after the fact is not really useful. If this array
ever gets an extra entry we can just add the ',' when that happens.
