Hmm, it's really nice that they fixed so many complaints. But honestly, reading the errata sheet, I had to chuckle that Dmitry didn't tear this chip to pieces.

I mean, there's erratums about obscure edge cases, about miniscule bugs. Sure, mistakes happen. And then there's this: Internal pull-downs don't work reliably.

Workaround: Disconnect digital input and only connect while you're reading the value. Well, great! Now it takes 3 instructions to read data from a port, significantly reducing the rate at which you can read data!

I guess it's just rare to have pull-downs, so that's naturally mitigating the issue a bit.

You can also use external resistors.
