Sure, I thought sometimes there were a feedback about scoping, but maybe
not from the maintainers. I will drop such comments next time, thanks
for letting me know.

Side note is that by "You can define" I meant if you want, if you feel
so, not you have to (sorry, not a native speaker).
But I understand that this unnecessary slow down the process when there
is no other (valid) changes to do, so I won't do that next time.

Thanks
