Hello Ilya, Thank you very much for the clarification! Another question, for some historical reasons, there are still some Luminous clients existing. Is it dangerous to sparsify an image which is still being used by a Luminous client? Thank you very much for informing me that N/O are both retired. We are definitely going to investigate on upgrading.
