For clarity, Photo Systems does not refer you to the old Kodak datasheet for XTol developing times, they refer you to this (frustrating) resource: https://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php?Film=&Developer=Xtol%&mdc=Search&TempUnits=C&TimeUnits=D

@MattKing ..frustrating (and unprofessional) indeed
As mentioned above, I did contact both PSI and Kodak, the former said that the old data sheets are still valid, the latter told me to take a look at The Massive Devchart.
There are more problems with current Kodak products. Kodak has been switching their 35mm films from triacetate to PET (polyester) carrier (base) since 2018. First the Portra 800, then Gold 200 and now Portra 400 and Ektar are getting thinner and thinner. This causes considerable problems for roll transport machines, as the films are often not transported correctly and get stuck in the machine. There is then a jam and the films are damaged.
Thinner films are also a problem when adjusting these in a darkroom enlarger.
