I don't think I'd want to be the one to tell a WRTC competitor who has
used CT for 10 years that he has to learn TRLog or SuperDuper or
whatever. I believe it's pretty much the same reasoning behind letting
the ops choose their own radios.
But I agree that the software should have been tested...alas. It'll be
interesting to see just what the bug was.
