Sigh...

We're ordering a new cylinder, and switching them out in the pits at UTC. This seems to be the best solution given the circumstance.

Paul-
Thank you for your opinion, your comment weighed quite heavily in my decision.

ChrisH-
Even the best teams skirt the rules every now and then, but we don't agree with that, so we try to keep everything well within the bounds of gracious professionalism. So we'll certainly be doing the wise thing and replacing it. Thanks.

This is what design constraints are for, right?

Thank you all for your comments.
I thought I was fairly well in touch with the rules/updates, but I didn't even notice this ruling. I wonder how many other teams will be simliarly affected.
