^1: Working on the Fix

Stick to what you need to fix. If you find something else that needs to be fixed or cleaned, create an issue or create another topic branch.
If you're going to fix it with something controversial or something you're unsure of, then commit early and send a pull request with description and with @requests to notify developers.

^2: Running the specs 1.

^3: Write a good commit message
