If it's any help, my opinion is that General Bits is much more a 
Community Resource (like Techdocs was back in the day ;-> ) than a 
Commercial add-on/enhancement or similar.

I don't think it hurts us to add Varlena to the Commercial Sponsors type 
of section, because it takes a lot of time and effort to make and 
maintain a good, worthwhile, Community Resource like this that enhances 
a Community, and raises the knowledge bar for everyone.

Regards and best wishes,
