This was clear since the beginning and by cutting my reasonning in the |
18 |
middle you don't get the point *AT ALL*... |

If you want the council to state that having a spec that does not match |
21 |
reality or reality that does not adhere to the spec is bad, then why not, |
22 |
but that sounds like stating the obvious since this is the definition of a |
23 |
spec that was approved years ago and for which council already stated the |
24 |
need for it even before. |

You seem to assume that in all the issues there's an evil person blocking |
41 |
improvements. In all the examples I pointed out, nobody is blocking |
42 |
anything, the lack of proper solution is. |

A deadline does not help moving forward, that's doing the work that does... |
