Dunno, but I have V7 running on an 11/23 which I demo'd at the 2015 DEC 
Legacy event.  I've also had it running on an 11/34; neither of those 
have split I&D.  I've never tried to rebuild it for my 11/40 but I know 
it's supported.

I have BSD 2.11 running on an 11/83 - that (and 2.10) does need split 
I&D - but as Lyle mentioned, 2.9 and earlier don't need it.
