Hi Anton

That is a way to view it. Interesting point. Is this the common view?
I'm asking since:
- the list is long and it does not look like previous front desk did that.
- I thought postponed meant that there is no need for a DLA, but we can fix
that later on when such a need appears.

I'm happy to do either way, but I want to do the right thing :-)

Cheers

// Ola
