The purpose of the Q&A is to clarify rules, not to create or modify rules. That is the purpose of the Team Updates. The GDC clarified a rule, as currently written.

Here is the problem, as I see it. If, as you say, the Q&A can only clarify rules, and only team updates can add new rules, you have a very inefficient system. Why clarify a rule as it is if they are going to change it? A much more effective system would be the Q&A both clarifying and changing rules. If they see a problem with a rule, such as is the case with these battery rules, than in their answer they should say.
"This is what the rule says, however we see the problem and this is how the rule is going to change."
At that point the team updates would essentially be compilations of the rule updates. We don't care what the current rules mean if they are going to change anyways.
