Thread revive.
Yes, actually. My partner and I have both been using one of these puppies (usually for rigging anchors on gear, but they work fine on bolts too) for close to a year now.
No complaints. A lot of compliments in fact. We love it. Very quick and simple to rig, but also very versatile. Comes as close as you can to real SRENE. Isn't gear intensive. What's not to like?
Edit: Regarding security of the knots, I have no concerns. I'm quite confident that the failure mode would have to be breakage of the cord, and I just don't see the forces going that high.
I'm willing to trust knots-on-bights in my slings and ropes. I see no reason not to do so here.
