The contents of the team update make sense, but it's frustrating that it's an about-face after weeks of getting a consistently different answer.

I was bitten by that bug a few years ago. From then on, we have determined what we think is a common sense approach to the rule and go with it. Glad we did. We will make some minor adjustments to the design to increase it's contenuity. I was willing to stick with our design until after what we saw at the week 1 events.

Advise after the fact: Don't get caught up in the CD echo chamber. Make a common sense call and stick with it until the updates prove you right or wrong.
