While I don't think it is a common activity, iirc, there are some LRHs which
are doing exactly that, since quite a while.

And imho, we are going to see other proposals getting tracation, which would
remove even more "special things/limitations". The next one I guess is address
transfer, just like the stuff for for PI. And, from my point of view, LR just
*is* PI, ok, old PI.

So, the farther I try to look into the future, the more the currently different
colours on the address blocks, which we do love so much, will become a uniform,
well - gray?
