I quite agree, I wasn't trying to argue for a more technical focus, I was 
just pointing out that the unique combination of rules (which are mostly 
technical in nature) is the reason the IRTC has attracted it's particular 
fan-base, and that any change (towards less rules, or for that matter more 
rules) will make it something us IRTC devotees are less interested in.

Now, if at some future point the IRTC community were to be dwindling and the 
project seemed like it was only appealing to an ever smaller group of 
fanatics, then perhaps some adjustment would be justified. But I think this 
new IRTC should be given a fair chance before anyone goes changing the 
rules.
