There is nothing that comes with the program that forbids SSDF to include
Rebel Century 3 in their list. When SSDF received the Rebel 11 cocktail
I was kindly asked to give my permission for Century 3. I replied in the
sense that there are no objections from my side. I suggested to read
chapter 5.8 of the manual first and then make their own decision to include
Century 3 in the SSDF list or not.

One thing is clear to me, people want to see Rebel compete over there despite
the buggy autoplayer. These are my most loyal customers and if they want it
they can get it. I know I have said different in the past (Rebel 10) but I
have changed my mind. After all it is not the customer's fault the autoplayer
is buggy and I can't solve the problem.
