Hi Robert,

Thank you for the clarification and the link. All I have to do is figure
out if I need tika or not. It's still a huge bundle and maybe the tika

It makes sens to be like this. I imagine some hints for using sling in
production would be welcomed and this should be there.

Have a great day,
