I started looking into this yesterday morning, while you were away and
finished it before you came back. So, it would have taken more time
and so I just sent them. I don't have any issues (as mentioned
earlier) is discarding them for the work you might have already done.

Yeah, even I don't have any issues in rebasing over your work, if I
have to.

I must have missed that then :(

Like always :(

Will try my best.

No worries.

Thanks for taking this up Rafael, really appreciate it :)
