   If this were a real concern, Jesse could even implement
   an auto-report that would send email to BP when an RT
   install boots.  (On an opt-in basis, and no more than
   every X months, etc) Or maybe at 'configure' time. Maybe
   having a better idea of installed base would help with
   bragging rights.
