I agree. Not necessarily with all your priorities but many of them and some of your solutions. I have the impression that RO is rapidly becoming a hobbyist niche - the equivalent of model train enthusiasm with all that implies with its obsession with the correctness of company liveries and its disregard of the world outside the model area. I actually like using my RO machines and I would very much like to continue doing so without having to worry my head with the (to me) arcane niceties of programming issues. More power to you!
