When it comes to quality, much like you said in another thread Benedict I think we all need to be honest with ourselves. There's been a lot of talk from *all* quarters but outside a lot of expression of intent across many fronts (verbal, ML, JIRA, slack), very little has publically materialized on the project to this point that I know of. I cleared out assignees on 40_quality_testing tickets earlier this week (overloading shepherds in this field was a mistake IMO - that's on me) which has clarified for some contributors that they can take that work on. There's still considerable uncertainty as to what the scope is for those tickets and nobody really replied to Jordan pinging shepherds for clarification a long while ago.
