Hi Ron,
Yes, in general it is good idea to have such a test. But the problem is
unfortunatelly, that it needs some time and for the time being I am
quite busy with other tasks that have higher priority. But what I am
planning to do in future is to allow adding new tests in much easier
way than it is right now. The goal is I think, that every VO or ROC
would be then able to have their own set of custom tests an probably
even own copy of SFT.
