Right, will change.

Yes, will update accordingly.

Makes sense; I am not terribly familiar with the regulator core and
helpers, so let me look and refactor accordingly.

Will try to simplify.

will correct that.

Got it. Let me look deeper.

I can change over to switch, though in the current set of downstream
