Agreed. It just seems a waste of effort, because presumably first you had to
design the real one to find out what parts you needed (or build a real one,
but in either case, divine the needed parts).

Someone may write a mixmaster program to stir up a model, I guess.

I'd rather that TLC give the option of submitting or not submitting to the
public lib when you upload/create the design, and that we have sufficient
reason to trust that they're not going to dishonor the request.
