Alert

Several sustained troll-attacks have been underway. The GF's team are being pounded by questions and requests from trolls who forgot to identify that they had dependencies on the work that's in progress. they are asking for answers to questions that have not yet been through the design process.

The team is in a no-win situation:
  • If we answer them and the answer turns out to be wrong, it's our fault
  • If we don't answer them until we have sufficient info, then we are not being helpful
Now, the team is helpful (sometimes too helpful), and it's good under pressure... but it's also professional and is quite correctly beginning to dig its collective heels in.
  • Answers will not be given until there is a high probability they are right
  • The integrity of the design will not be compromised by artificial timescales.
GF has spoken.
