"Ultimate" 5-limit again

I returned to this, and added names, poptimal generators (this time using
everyone's favorite defintion of the minimax generator) and "extensions".
These are defined in a way which is very strict and perhaps a little
arbitrary, but the results seem of some interest. I took the poptimal
generator, found the corresponding val with the lowest badness, extended
it in the way which gave lowest badness, and looked for the lowest
badness 7-limit temperament compatible with this val and the 5-limit
comma. I only go up to Monzimic with this list, which really seems far
enough. To make up for that and make Paul happy, I tacked Miracle on the
end despite the fact that as a 5-limit temperament it's nothing to get
excited about.

probably i goofed. can you help fill in all the data for the row that
i would need to add to this table:

/tuning/database?
method=reportRows&tbl=10&sortBy=5&sortDir=up

i'll then add the corresponding green line in the relevant et
graphs . . .

Unless you want to send it to me, you'll need to wait until my modem
problem is fixed. I'm going to try to install another driver now.

The comma is 2^(-69) 3^45 5^(-1). Is that all you need?

here's the contents of the database (in very non-database form --
