In previous years if a programmer wanted to come into queue to push updates or whatever they had to be a drive team member. Or at least one of the drive team members had to give up their button until the programmer finished and and returned it so there was never more than 4 people from a given team in the field area (five counting media sometimes). I don't see what element of the game would call for that to differ this year, and if the difference doesn't give an insight into the game I don't see why Dave wouldn't include info about the change in the blog post along with the picture.
