Aside from BOOT BIOS group not being able to stand up the chain after 3-4 days, there were still dependancies required for the plugin in question to still work.
From my observations, a lot of politics and back-channeling was done to dissuade people just like you, that's all the happened.
Same exact stuff that happens at big companies when IT tries to communicate this stuff. No one listens and then when there is any disclosure it's met with this type of tribalism because no one wants to take blame.
Now these guys are the people launching the chain in case you didn't know. Doh!
