Diego,
I agree with you that OTF is orthogonal to the flags, but I also believe we
should be as precise as possible. Let's forget for a second in which draft
what goes and think only about the end result. What flags would you put on
the OTF cells, and would they be dedicated/shared? I have some weak
opinion, but I'd love to hear your pros/cons.
