Actually I do. The whole point of test releases is to shake out any
bugs so if someone takes the effort to try a test version and report the
problems they find that makes me happy. If they're still grateful for
the release despite the bugs found, that's even better. :-)

Yes, old mode choices files will need to be adjusted for 4.70a3. This
can be done in the same way as the Colours files a while ago.

How did you save the Mode Choices? If by the above method, I tried that
on an Iyonix and it worked fine. Which compatability mode are you using
on the RPi?

Thanks for the bug report, and the support!
