Vero 4k+ bookmark images

I look at this post here:

This is from February, 2016. Back then, the original Vero was using kernel 4.4.0. However, it appears that my Vero (4k) is using 3.14.

This is from 4 years ago. It would appear then that (correct me if I’m wrong) it could take several years to get this bookmark issue fixed (if even) while we wait for version 4.9.

Why not fix it prior to the release of 4.9 so that this customer doesn’t have to potentially wait years for this?
