I do, but it's less cut and dried, since the rule says "fabrication" for mech stuff, and "development" for software, and "fabrication" seems like cutting metal, while "development" is more like knowing what metal to cut.
That's why I feel like the decision rendered on QA1026 is wrong.
We'll have to wait and see what the response is on QA 1226.
Or we could ask for someone who actually knows the answer to post what they meant by "teams must put down their tools". Certainly, someone who was present at the (undoubtedly complicated) birth of <R14> reads this board. If anyone reading this had a hand in writing that seemingly innocuous rule, break your silence! Tell us the answer, so that Dave and I can sleep. And if you wanted to frame your response to let us sleep a little more after Feb 22nd, I'm sure we'd both be able to use the nap.
