Very good idea. Although the number 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0
might look simple it's probably not a good idea to hardcode any number
like 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 into applications. Abstracting
it and putting 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 into a library makes
developing and packaging software that needs
09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 easier. I'm curious to see what
interesting numbers the upstream will come up in the future. Looks
promising.

Thanks for making my day. :)
