Agree with you that it need a bigger discussion about whether
advertise VHT is the suitable/best
way to support the  VHT at 2.4G feature.

We are considered this ways as it is already be used by some vendor

in there full mac product, and there will be IOT issue if there are
kinds of different implementation.
