Fair enough, regarding the Untrackable field, I believe I
understand what you mean.  Untrackable raises errors which
require hoover (on DDPO) or unroll (on the PTS) to determine
whether the error is genuine or due to an Untrackable state.
I've left the package as is and proceeded to sponsored upload.

Thank you for your contribution!

Have a nice day,  :)
