I _believe_ ago's tinderbox isn't being paid by the GF _anymore_ due to |
| 26 |
this reason, but he keeps it running with his own expenses. I don't mind |
| 27 |
this as long as the results are desirable and not phony. I still see a |
| 28 |
lot of value in most of ago's work. |

It is unfortunate we don't get to see the engine behind and copy it, |
| 31 |
since I'd be really interested in using his automated bug search / |
| 32 |
report tool. Even tattoo (https://github.com/arthurzam/tattoo) lacks |
| 33 |
that at the moment. |
