@jreback when you say 'ping on green' do you mean wait for the three continuous integration services to finish or that big green circle with a checkmark that says 'this branch has no conflicts with the bae branch'? 
the ci to be all green (may take a while)
@jreback its green now (that took 4 hours?). Looks like there has been another commit to master. Should i rebase again?
yeah that’s fine- the commit to master fixes the ci issue
no need to rebase 

ci runs for every commit for all prs so quite a queue
thanks
