Except that the first fractional extension will now round to over a ply. IE if you start depth at 1.00, a .75 extension doesn't do anything, until another .75 extension is added, then the extension is 1 ply with that .5 carried over until the next .75 is added. If you start at 1.75, the first three .75 extensions actually extend, the 4th does not, then the next 3 do, the next doesn't, etc...
