It would be helpful if you could refrain from hijacking barely
tangentially related threads as a marketing pitch for TSEM.

Everyone is welcome, and encouraged (!), to join the upstream
discussion threads, especially when one has something relevant to
contribute which hasn't been previously discussed.  However, when
every other contribution an individual makes follows the pattern of
"we could solve all of this if we only had feature 'X' which I
helpfully posted here <lore link>" then those contributions grow very
tiring and I tend to start ignoring that individual.
