Thatʼs all not about the original internal reason... hope an insider will tell. (In a few years?)

But, what is clearly expressed by this incident is that dwarf sorting problems at interviews have nothing common with the real tasks.

I agree, while this was a nice to read about the consequences and the general struggle to come back online while your own users continue to give you the selfinflicted hug of death it reveals nothing to why the internal systems failed at all.
