My XO 1.5 doesn't have 8GB and my original plan was the SD card route,
but since I upgraded to 13.2.0, before noticing the caveat in step 12,
I'm wondering: Wait for a firmware fix because I'm not in a tearing
hurry to go backwards, and can happily wait a while?  Is it something
well understood that will be fixed in a month or sooner?  Or is it a
riddle wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in mystery that isn't worth
fixing because there's newer hardware out there? (Or somewhere
between?)

Thanks.
