They are really going to need to address this Velcro thing one way or another at some point. I'm a bit worried that the Velcro questions in the Q&A are going to be dismissed as "can't rule on legality of specific designs" or something like that, and we'll carry this ambiguity past the first week of build season.

It's not like a Velcro climber is hard, people.

This is what any smart team is doing, I think, but the second that Velcro is confirmed legal is the second we can redirect those efforts elsewhere.
