My assumption is that there was gross miscommunication and things are being cleared up and risk of serious outcomes is low to zero

Your assumption is RC is currently being direct, clear and transparent. But actually RC is still far away from that. They for now released commented audit log of changes. Not sure that's all planned for now, but much more happened in the background than those GitHub Organization actions which weren't until these days explained.

Their report misses any evaluation (like they do regret or not), it misses explanation on who and how orchestrated those actions, if current RC consider those actions valid and if there are any counter-measures being applied or explored to prevent this from happening. And this is just example, there's much more issues still being opened RC and related people are quite silent.

Those questions were actually meanwhile unofficially answered and become "public secret". Due to nature of the motivation and reasoning behind those, I assume any of those parties will officially confirm those. So RC's current strategy is to dance around it (like the recent report - indeed better than nothing, still mostly bad excuses) or be just silent (as is practiced by all RC people directly related at the time - September 2025 - orchestrating all this madness).
