When I'm quite happy that it works as well as I can get it to. Still
finding bugs at the moment.
I have to assume that people needing an rpm aren't as experienced as those
who don't. Fault-finding comes with experience, so I only want the
most-experienced people to be trying it now.

Hope you understand, it's for your benefit (and that of your customers
too). I hope I'm not being seen as condescending in any way, I'm just
trying to protect everyone involved.
