Yes, that's how I'm thinking of it. It's required in the sense that
if we don't do it as a separate patch, we'll need to fold many of
changes into the RLS patch, which IMV is not desirable. We'd end up
with more complexity and less functionality with no real upside that I
can see.
But I think we are basically saying the same thing.
