Yeah, I thought about that, but really didn't know how greedy we could be. At first I had all, but then thought we would never use all of that sequence. We'll likely want a few more for libside integration. Maybe I'll grab the first 16, that should leave a lot for others and give us quite bit of growing room. How many do you think we'll need for libside? I think we'd only need 2-3 personally.
