I think we should renumber that to the usual ...a, ...b, ...c, ... scheme.
The 'm' suffix was used 'back in the day' because this is one case where there is conflct between DesignID numbers and Part numbers. DesignID 6216 is Brick 2 x 4 x 2 with Curved Top but 6216 was also used by LEGO to describe the part assembly which is this motor.
I have deferred finding a solution for this for too long, so now is maybe the time to find a solution.
It's also the reason why I have not certified the two doors 73313 and 73312.
