Well, yes. It is the board's problem if it assumes the authority to 
decide on the release team (which it has). Half-finished results of a 
release team *are* the board's problem. It is not the boards task to fix 
the ftp directory on the server; it's the boards task to fix the process 
that led to selecting a team that doesn't get that job done. If the 
board isn't capable of doing that, then it has a *big* problem in my 
understanding.
