I can tell you, from the perspective of an LRI, that I see the Q&A as official clarifications of the game manual. The rulings provided in the Q&A inform my own interpretation of the rules and the rulings I make at an event. While I do reference specific rules more often at events, I do pull out Q&A responses when explaining some rulings to teams.

The answers on there are official, they just aren't considered to be final. Final rulings come from the LRI and Head Ref.
