9 I think, pro-actively considering the case of new slots makes sense
10 because of the reasons stated. But I would suggest that we should go for
11 "No SLOT set, the PM assumes :0". That way, the SLOT is fixed and no
12 upgrade to the new version would happen, but we have lesser amount of
13 SLOTs to set.
