GiB or GB
Hi,
In the API, when we talk about GB, do we mean GiB or literally GB?
Thanks!

I'd suggest that we don't change everything to GiB. Technically, it's
accurate. However I'd bet that most users would be confused by the
introduction of GiB into the docs, unless the documentation was only to
clarify that references to GBs are actually GiBs, but are kept as GB for
the purpose of reader / user understanding.
There's a reason that the industry still uses GB's everywhere... ;-)

Cool...I wonder if that is something we should document since that is
technically a GiB?
