This change is to support (2). Well, can you guys please agree on priorities? Like which one is more important and so it should go in first? At this point I'm not sure what the ordering assumptions with respect to the EPP series are. Also this submission is late for 6.2, so I will only regard it as 6.3 material on the condition the above gets clarified. In the meantime, please address review comments and consider resending after 6.2-rc1 is out. Thanks!
