I wasn't make a request or a demand to change or not to change anything, so in this particular exchange there was no point where I was right (or wrong, for that matter ;-). I was asking if there was a solid reasoning behind the split, and if there is, I am perfectly happy to see it done as a separate workflow with the log message that explains why it is separate. I am also perfectly fine with this rolled into the primary one, with clear reasoning behind the choice recorded in the log message. Thanks.
