I'll file a ticket soon.

Thanks. I think documenting use on a wide variety of platforms will
really help with adoption, and it is encouraging to know you have
contacts to talk to.

I would project that myself and perhaps two or three other writers would
 use whatever platforms we gain access to.  Nothing intensive; just spin
 up an instance, make sure the commands function as expected, experiment
 a little, and destroy the instance; maybe an hour or two at a time. I'll
 defer you on the best way to handle accounts.

Good! I'll have more, then :P Now that I've got the door open, hopefully
more writers will be participating and reaching out as well.
