EOS R6 firmware update

The latest 1.81 update for the R5 and R6 gave the R5 an unlimited recording time, and largely eliminated the overheating issue in 4K.  Why couldn't the R6 be afforded these same benefits.  (Because of the R6 mkII ?)

Greetings,

The following items were provided in FW v1.8.1 (R5)

Firmware Version 1.8.1 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:
1. Adds [IBIS High resolution shot] to the camera menu. By utilizing the in-body IS mechanism, it is now possible to record images with higher resolution.*
*Use EOS Utility/Digital Photo Professional to check the images. EOS Utility/Digital Photo Professional will need to be upgraded.
2. Adds [Save/load comm. settings on card] to the camera menu.
Network settings can now be transferred between cameras of the same model.
3. Adds the ability for images to be cropped and resized during transfer to the FTP server.
4. Adds Protect Images During [FTP Transfer] to the camera menu. Images transferred via FTP can now be automatically protected. The user can determine if images have already been transferred via FTP.
5. Fixes minor issues.

Unlimited recording time was not one of them.  I will be extremely surprised if the 30 min recording limit gets removed from the R5.  I would not count on this for the R5 or R6 

Things you might expect are:

Enhanced AF and subject tracking

Pre-Shooting buffer

Lens Breathing correction (maybe)
