I suppose it's worth raising with them? After all, it just software.

Right, but this is one of the problems I've raised. Right now, this
problem is present in every code that uses RSE and wants to know status
of a program. If this code is present in RSE, there's a chance that
any improvements, for example UI to specify the type of remote
system, will benefit all RSE clients.
