It may revolve around the meaning of uploading, but my problem with the
uploading approach, is that it makes a copy. Whether a copy is the same as

whole engineering to get stuff within tolerance side of things. :D
What I find interesting is if, instead of replacing a part, we want to add
parts. Extra
