Agreed for grandma-BL!

Well, it was always clear that there would be multiple BL's (since there are
multiple machine). Having a GBL will make things much simpler when it comes to
interactions between the DL and the PL. I would also like this grandma-BL to
perform the splitting, and that's the point on which Jarl and I disagree and
that would need to be discussed further.
