It's not directly related to that specific problem, it does solve some other OOTA issues though.
If you think we should link to the talk, there's also a video with slightly more updated slides from the actual talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDKhIxKhoQ
do you think I should link to both then?
