While it is encouraging some select addicted others and myself have figured out the 'necessary fiction' angle, I wouldn't want to see 12 Steppers run without it.  (and yes, I've had some experience with RR, I just don't see RR working for everyone the same way I don't see 12 Steppers working for everyone either)
