However, I am hesitating doing that change, as it would be a waste for the psci case, but I also think that it may becomes a bit less straight forward to use this helper function. Although, no strong opinions from my side either, but since Rob is happy with this, there is no need to change it, I think. > > I am fine as it is if there are reasons not to do that. > Right.
