I would really appreciate if we could treat this more like 'Lets work
together to fill out this section, here is what I need to know...'
instead of like 'Incomplete. You have till tomorrow to fill this out
again'.
You're absolutely right. The point here is to get info from the
developers and help fill in the blanks *for* them. I apologize if that
didn't come across!
Just saying something like "This is no good, fix it" isn't helpful at
all. You need to ask specific questions - "What packages are going to be
changed?", or "How do I make sure this is configured properly?" - to get
the missing info. Be helpful!
