HI When Tobias and I first developed the "abuse-c:" mechanism we wanted to keep the design simple. But eventually we were overruled by the community who preferred ease of use over simple design. So we are where we are :)  cheersdenis co-chair DB-WG On Wednesday, 23 September 2020, 13:14:38 CEST, Stephane.Dodeller@swisscom.com <stephane.dodeller@swisscom.com> wrote: Hello Leo, Hello all,
