Testing looks good :) Many thanks!
At least the issues we observed before are not seen any more. As we are
not exactly sure on the root cause, of course this is not a 100% proof.
But as the change looks good, looks like it won't break something and
the system behaves good with it I would say we are good to go.
I think we could add anything like

Thanks again!
