I discussed this in Slack with Jens. I incorrectly assumed that my
email was ignored for two weeks when I pinged the list back multiple
times, instead of checking the list archives to see if there was an
email that I never received.... which there was. Jens had already
provided an answer to my questions the first time... which I
appreciate. I only wish I had seen it before replying. This mistake
was mine, and avoidable. Sorry for that.
