However, we are talking about teams who have limited budgets and who in some cases have sent out drawings etc. to be machined. Many of us do not have the money or resources to have parts remachined etc. Fortuntately for my team (whose design is now not legal) we had not ordered parts or sent out CAD drawings for machining and we may still have time to go back to the drawing board.
I agree with the others who call this a bad move and bad form on the part of the GDC
especially when this was discussed completely in a mentor call
and it
directly contradicts an earlier answer in the formal Q&A (which is also hosted by the GDC).

Impossible is just a big word for small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
