Good! and thanks!
One more thing: I would like to understand the logic of improving
u-m-l-x.x.x-1um -> 2um (it is not a critic): should it be when a
"big"/"important" or whatever change is introduced? or just to avoid the
epoching?

as discuss privately with Mattia (for other reason) I need to work with
rootstrap remotely from office to my domestic server. I am connected home
via a ssh connection; if I use "con0=fd:0,fd:1" and "con=pts" I can not see 
anything on the window and thus I need to manually modifie rootstrap
script in order to have only "con0=fd:0" available as umlarg.
That is the reason of my choise. I may be due to my evident lack of
knowledge in matter, then I shall try be more documented on it.
