[Public] Sure, we can add it to next week's promotion, I'm almost through this week's candidate. Tom is scheduled to prepare next week's candidate, so I'll tag him in.

The whole series is Reviewed-by: Harry Wentland <[email protected]> Dan, can we give this a spin in our weekly promotion tests before I merge it?
