Thanks, appreciate the response. I would say send a v8 that's rebased to
make life easier for maintainers :) if you already have it ready to go that
is!

I think at this stage that makes more sense, as gives the maintainers a
chance to run locally + account for any recent changes etc.

Thank you again for all your hard work on this! This could be super useful
for us over in mm :)
