Perhaps they shouldn't, but that is how it has worked out.
In that case, it seems the mistake was assigning what should have been a top-priority task to someone that couldn't actually make it their top priority due to other commitments. If someone is unable to guarantee that they'll have time to do something, they shouldn't be assigned something so time critical. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
