"Mb" looks like Maga-bit, is that right?

Well, we will try not to change it anymore, but we cannot guarantee this
so far. That particular change was requested by LKML. We may have more

But if we'll have users who may be hurt by the changes, we may try
provide a program to convert the media formats.
