OK, I understand. I am the in-cicruit programmer guy and one of the output
pins of my programmer just says 'connect to LVP pin'. When someone wants to
connect it to a socket which must accept any flash PIC I guess he has to
connect diodes to every portb pin except rb6 and rb7 (and to be future-proof
maybe to every other PIC pin too).

BTW can anyone give a reason for Microchip to use different pins for LVP on
different chips?
