New(?) remap question

After reading that the remap timer is now unaffected by using a bonus remap, I was left with the following question;

If our non-bonus 'normal' remap is already available, or if we have a bonus remap available when our timer elapses, "recharging" our 'normal' remap, can we use the 'normal' remap and start the timer again, or are we forced to burn through all of our bonus remaps before the timer starts again?

It matters, because in one case I continue to feel exremely guilty using a remap, and in the other, I'll actually be able to remap again!

Anyone? A dev, maybe?

I would imagine like every other gift, you have a limited time to claim the remap before it disappears. Once you claim it, it'll be added to your remap, I doubt the game distinguish between a normal remap and a bonus remap.

When you use a remap it will always use your "normal" one (the one with the timer) in preference to any bonus ones you have available. This was clearly explained in the devblog.

http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=3276 This is the devblog I was referring to, and while there are snippets that back up your assertation (which I hope is accurate), it is not 'clearly explained' by any stretch of the imagination. I see no indisputable indication that a 'timed remap' will be prioritized over a 'bonus remap'.
