This is one of five different ways the Birth & Death dates are now being represented in the Project.
Most often a project or organization does not fail due to some catastrophic happening from without; these they are prepared for and can defend against. What does prove to be its final undoing is a corrosion of its product & culture from within. To put it plainly: The product this Project is putting out has become incredibly sloppy, both in content and presentation. There are clear symptoms, and if detected and corrected soon enough, such a collapse can be prevented. I sense a hubris regarding the Project that is disturbing; and can ultimately prove to be its undoing.
