Tbh, I was not even thinking about the layout when I proposed the arrangement. Just
made sense to me (from a logical point of view) to have them together as they relate
to the same physical channel. FWIW, we're also speaking bytes in here so not sure if
it's that important (or bad).

That said, as we should have labels anyways, I'm not being the blocker if everyone
else prefers to have the RFC layout :)
