I think it makes sense from the fog of my memory of this issue. But I'm also going to note: I haven't gotten to this in a while, and I feel guilty about that. :( I'm very overwhelmed right now. If nobody picks this up where I left it off I probably can, but I am probably blocked for the next couple of months with urgent tasks... which is a shame for something that looked so close to landing. If anyone wants to get this to the last mile and address Ludo's feedback they are welcome to in the meanwhile.
