Thanks for that Roy. So, we _can_ let podlings have their own binding release votes and we could do our own "pTLP" type experiments without even needing to go to the board. We should try that. Not for every podling but just for select ones where the circumstances mean it will work better than the current approach. If there are no major objections to some experiments with this approach then i'd like to start trying one.
