Indeed. To me that's exactly how it reads. All the arguments put forward in
its favour are nothing but a pile of marketing excrement: the thing is just a
ruse to nail sites to the RAC bandwagon, period. Never mind if folks need RAC
or not, that's immaterial!
Just like the idiotic videos of the 2 dbas, with the "savvy looking girl" doing
"everything with a click of the mouse". Most of what she does, she'd simply be
fired on the spot at most sites...
