OARC does many things, I assume here you are referring to our port
entropy tester:

I didn't see that communication, so I can only assume it pre-dated my
current OARC tenure. Thanks for the heads-up and apologies it did not
get responded to. If you could please re-send me what you sent off-list,
we'll see about getting your proposed fix incorporated into the tool
and/or an appropriate caveat meantime.
