Cc: Carlos O'Donell Cc: Collin Funk Cc: Sam James Link: Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar --- Hi! I changed obvious wording, such as replacing the project name. On top of that, I removed a misleading sentence: They are capable of providing good assistance if you are careful enough, but we can't really rely on that. I don't think it's possible to be careful enough. Have a lovely day!
