Heiko, perhaps you can correct me here:

Last Wednesday you & Palmer agreed that it was too late in the cycle to
apply any of the stuff touching alternatives?
If I do recall correctly, gives plenty of time to sort out any
interdependent changes here.

Could easily be misremembering, wouldn't be the first time!

Conor.
