Ok, I'll do that.

Yes, that's correct. I'll add it in the next version.

No, you're right, raw variants don't seem to be necessary.

Yes but, as Ezequiel said in his response, the watchdog framework
serializes this access. So I think a lock isn't necessary.

You're right, I'll fix it.

We can continue discussing this point on Ezequiel's response.
