We actually use that resource, and it's not such a good template, IIRC
for other reasons.
as the person who wrote this RA, I can tell you it has always had two
purposes (as also mentioned in the commit message).
1 - be so insanely simple that it was guaranteed to work (and therefor
good for testing)
2 - be an appropriate starting point for people writing RAs
(without any extra baggage that would then get copied a million times)
_please_ do not add features to it, nor refactor it.
I like it exactly how it is.
If we want a template, maybe we should just put it in the doc directory
as a template with lots and lots of comments?
