    Hi Pavel,

    I'd suggest you just post the code with the duplicate files
    for review at first, and then we can discuss what to do with them.
    As Russell mentioned, the code might not actually be ideal
    in the duplicate version so you end up rewriting it, or there
    might be a different solution that someone finds when we see the
    patches.
