Hi Thomas,

I guess I've been conflating testing with development. I'm both a
tester and dev, and I tend to do that. Apologies for any confusion.

If something works with most AT in its out-of-the-box state, but not
with one slightly tweaked popular AT, I don't think it would do any
harm to recommend to developers a few changes that would make it work
for more people.

Kind regards, Lynn
