Recent events might have changed the tone of this interview significantly, and I am trying to get a follow up.

I heard back from Joe Powers, here is the answer I received.

Obviously, the incident is unfortunate but can be expected in a situation where tough calls need to be made. Ultimately, these changes will make us a stronger, more effective organization as I think anyone who has been through the start-up process will recognize."
