Thanks for the quick feedback Lorenzo !
So I think it should be something more like the attached.

That way all the handling remains the same and the override is applied in
the right place plus smaps keeps working.

LGTM, do you want me to respin a v2 with what's below ? or you'd rather
send it yourself.

Thanks, I think as it's somewhat divergent maybe better if I send it with
Reported-by/Closes if that makes sense to you?

Of course,
I'd like to get David's input on it first however!

Yep.

Thanks,
