+-------
I have needed at least three of those objects for a product destinted for a
non-SDLC environment (role, idle pattern and number of flags).  In addition,
I needed RTSControl, Delay and simplex vs duplex in another product.
I should note that the first product is a router but the second is more
tradition data comms gear.

So yes, I would object to leaving out the objects.
