Ehhh, could sure do that. I guess a failure in the "closed" position
would be rare. I had left them separate just in case someone found a
use for the thing other than what I expected -- might need two poles or
one normally closed, one normally open, whatever. I could put pads down
for a little .1" header with shunts to jumper them together for people
that wanted the redundancy.

(Unless people play a LOT more games than I do, I'd be amazed if even
one of these relays fail. They're spec'd for telecom-- 10^8 mechanical
operations, 10^5 2A @ 30V, 5*10^5 1A @ 30V. Even if you use the 10^5
number that's probably still 10-20 credits a day every day for 20
years...)
