Kyle, CC'd, pointed out the same thing to me. He apparently has already
done the work to have a hwrng ontop of that series. So hopefully it's
just a matter of having everyone coordinate.

So I'll duck out and let you guys handle it. Just please make sure the

Kyle, should you send your thing to Corentin?
