This is too bad, as they could simply include instructions to load in
the dark.  I don't know about problems with medium format cameras, but
there wouldn't be any problems with my roll back.

A while back I was going to go in with a few other people to make a
minimum purchase of 8X10 HSI but it fell apart.  It's always difficult
to get these things together.
