Kind of missing the point. The White House thing is a canard; the deadline is the real proposition here.

If FIRST commits to fix it in 8 weeks, and it's fixed in 8 weeks, great, everyone can get on with their off-season. If not, there's still lots of time to try new things; at least we'll expect a status report by July. But if we give them 8 months, they'll more than likely
take 8 months. At that point, if it isn't fixed, people aren't going to be happy.
