:-)  Increments should only come out of the brands table IMHO, but I'm 
not sure how to fix it without causing breakage.  Could be I just don't 
have time. :-)

In ASTPP, I have added support to have different rates depending on the 
brand.  It would not be that hard to port to ASTCC but I'm not sure how 
to do it without breaking existing installations.

On this subject, does anybody have feedback on the bug?  They want 
external testing feedback before doing anything with it.
