I realize that everyone wants to talk about the controversial and shocking part of the report, but a lot of people are missing the forest for the trees here.
The idea that there's a person involved has captivated people's attention from the simple points that will still be unresolved regardless of any apology.

The best of the best had power issues that no amount of reading would find.

We have been distracted by the communications about this person from the larger security issue of deauth and other attacks which remain possible.

We've ignored the much more annoying aspect that some of these other attack vectors won't actually stop the robot and leave it stopped they can be used to manipulate the field play (stop a robot at just the right moment just long enough to effect match outcome and in the process make finding the source much more difficult).

It's additionally not clear to me that certain documentation regarding programming is sufficiently direct enough to communicate to teams what things they can do in a particular language that will cause issues but other than that seem perfectly reasonable.

There's so much more to this than just what this person did or other people probably stumbled on earlier in the season.
