Comment (by chris_r_timmons):

 I'd like to move forward on this with a submission to Phabricator, but I'd
 appreciate some guidance as to whether my approach is correct.

 My plan is:

 1. Create a new folder $TOP/utils/checkRTS
 2. Place the python script (renamed to checkRTS.py) and a README file in
 that folder
 3. As suggested, modify $TOP/validate to call
 $TOP/utils/checkRTS/checkRTS.py
 4. checkRTS.py will print its findings to stdout

 Does this sound feasible?

 Thanks.
