Mmm... I think you're right. If we go to out:, we are running someone
(so we are not idle), and we will continue to do so (so we should not
be marked as idle).

I seem to recall having seen something because of which out needed
bubbling up, but I don't any longer right now, so I'll leave it alone.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
