I think there's some common ancestry :-)

That said, I'm weary of doing it without proper testing, especially
those old cell blades which I'm not sure I still have a functional
one, and whatever is using gpcs...

Cheers,

Yup.

Ok so I really don't *need* that in fact.

I wonder if I need to bother at all then. I was worried it was related
to actual function of the device, but if it's just LEDs, I think I may
as well just drop it.
