No, but they've also been quick to report that files are appearing correctly on
their systems, since I started playing with the script. :)  So, no negative
reports, plenty of positive ones.

Yes, that's about the size of it.  I haven't upgraded to a Pi 3 yet.  I'm in
two minds.  The extre speed will be handy, but the increase in current draw
rules out a lot of "generic" power supplies.  As I rely heavily on DC-DC
converters, this is an issue, I have to be careful whatI used to power them. 
The Pi 1 and 2 series will happy run from off the sheld DC-DC converters, so I
can run them from my 13.8V DC supply easily (obviously with an automotive style
DC-DC converter).
