No commends/feedback?
I understand that the change is not a small one - feel free to ask if
you need to have something explained in more detail.
Please let me know if someone is planning to look into this topic.
Ideally by the end of this week (start of the day Monday, CET). If there
are no comments, we might need to move it forward even without any other
input, but I don't really want to do that..
Thanks and regards,
Pavel
