The X9 made the k = 0.33 column of the chip model a product class, so every public sentence that stated 2.1x alone now states 2.1x (k = 1) to 3.9x (k about 0.33), with the ladder's second rung taking the X9 bracket to about 2.8x. The ladder lane's litepaper paragraph 'The work that waits can grow' and ledger row M34 are taken from branch ladder (7003f9f, those two hunks only) so the ladder is on the site before the code ships.
