Thank you too.

I’m happy to add the 'AsciiRFC' part but is there a reason you want the ' (formerly known as asciidoctor-rfc) ' removed?

Unfortunately this doesn’t really make sense as an additional option for that question.  It’s a matrix question where people answer each of the options with one of

 	• Always
   	• Very often
   	• Sometimes
   	• Rarely
   	• Never [Ensure this is scored as 0]

Also, I don’t understand how this benefits us as the respondents may or may not have a built-in checker they don’t know about - can you explain the thinking behind it?

cheers
