AFAIR this limitation was already in the scripted version, and I tried to wrap my head around lifting it. However, I did not end up with the brillian analysis of Shawn, and was almost sending a reply contradicting his logic. However, I agree with Shawn that it is the same issue as contradicting fetches, so if it leads to problems, it is a pilot error.

_However_, I still try to come up with some attic for deleted refs. It is not just a matter of moving the logs to a different namespace because of D/F conflicts.

Ciao, Dscho
