Thanks for repeating, I did miss the other questions, sorry.

Yes, that's right - no functional impact. I'll split that to a separate
patch to make it clearer.

You are correct once again. When enslaving to an up bond (case in the
selftest), it is ok, but when enslaving to a down bond and then setting
it up, there is a double add.

Thanks for the review. I'll send a v3.
