<upd_detl>I think it's unlikely this would be translated as "if it is remotely feasible".
Is adv correct? I'd have just gone with exp.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>It didn't sound very natural to me but it's more common than I thought.
For that particular example, I'd still use any of the other glosses over "to the extent possible".</upd_detl>
