Re[2]: [Thales] Thales IRCU support

[Daniël Boeije]

I forgot something to tell in the previous email. It's not a
modification which Lucas has to do in one day. All the networks I'm
known of which want thales are giving Lucas the time to do implant it
right. Maybe my reactions might like "now now now!", but it's not
something my network(s) drive on.
