True.

Also true, though the more useful we make it, the more likely that they'll use 
it on occasion too, I would think.

Include the URL.  But the folks at RB are very smart and good at paying 
attention; I suspect they know what ROTOR is already.  Again, as we make it 
more useful and get more people using it, the more likely any particular person 
at RS will be familiar with it.

I agree, that would be ideal.  But some people here may remember years ago when 
folks at RS asked who would be interested in them making their internal test 
suite public, so all could contribute.  The response, as I recall, was mostly 
the sound of chirping crickets.  Much like I've gotten out of ROTOR, in fact 
(though I have gotten two outside contributions -- thanks guys!).

So, your feature request is a sensible one and I support it -- but I also don't 
think we should wait for it to happen.  We can all support ROTOR until 
something better (e.g. officially endorsed) comes along.

Best,
- Joe
