You can see in the Mar 1 design team meeting log that I made it clear I
wasn't going to be around for a while and attempted to arrange some
backup, but almost no one showed up to the meeting.

A key feature of any process though it that it actually WORKS. If it

A little bit of confusion over consistency is really minor compared to
shipping a wallpaper that isn't finished.
