And test coverage. As Saku alluded to earlier in the thread, =
rr<->rr-client outages are painful. I=E2=80=99ve certainly seen a number =
of them caused by inter-op issues between implementations. Running at =
least one RR which matches the code-base of the client means that at =
least you=E2=80=99re likely to have fallen within the test-cases of that =
vendor=E2=80=99s implementation.
