While RRO is great, it had a wrinkle: it’s a family fiefdom.

The Roberts family has been editing it since “the beginning,” and still do. Presumably the next editor will be the current editor child.

This presents small problems in terms of continuity.

The real reasons RRO is popular is because RRO is popular. There’s no way to replace it.

Not a huge problem now, and unlikely to be a huge problem in the future. I’m not worried, and I don’t think anyone else should be either.

Maybe family fiefdom isn’t always a bad thing?
