This is one instance of a fallacy in FIRST. While FIRST publishes a lot of necessary information, stuff that the >10% of the highly connected community would like to see public mean nothing and in some cases can negatively affect the 90% of the community who doesn't. That group has people who wouldn't understand what matters and what doesn't with regards to a published waitlist of any degree and could cause enough headaches to bury the data again.
