Also, don't think I don't understand what you're saying, I do. If we had
a working ra_pipe that was maintainable, I know lots of people would
love us to pieces. Some for the right reasons, and some because they
don't want their security folks to evaluate this new threat vector
they're introducing into their system.
Now if only somebody could do the work....
