Thanks, that's actually good description. Yet I still do not know what
is exactly the problem and the question. Linking some out of tree
commits does not give me the answer, at least I cannot get that answer
form the link.

For example what I don't understand is: why additional resources (like
resets) can be provided only in new binding, but not in the old.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
