Thanks - I think that justifies an adjustment from 990 to something a little less - perhaps 980. The intention is surely to support commodity offerings with a nominal 1G, and although there might be a hard limit, it’s much smaller than that, so a small adjustment downward would put no-one in jeopardy.
