​Russ,

I didn't see any harm or foul for providing some experience-driven
insight.  Look at it this way:  Keith may not always be the owner of this,
​and if he hands this off down the road, it may not be to someone as
skilled/capable.

I certainly don't mean to offend Keith for his question or direction, I
just wanted to provide a slight twist that might be a better choice that's
more easily maintained down the road.
