Crunch: Thinking over the situation, you may be right. Perhaps I'm expecting a bit much from Catalyst on the developer side of things with their other priorities, although I am also limited in my understanding of how everything came together to come up with the book in the first place.
Hotpatch errata, going to have to go look at that again, honestly. As far as "errata" goes, my understanding is that Aaron and Bull and the like (correct me guys, seriously, I haven't seen bull in some time) aren't providing the official word here except in some cases. Just their understanding and interpretation.
I want something along the lines of what was in the second edition hardcover I bought used (second edition/1st still has the most effective draw for me, something 3rd and 4th lost touch with, at least as far as SR's setting goes--5th finally gives it a run for its money, but I digress)...to bring this back around:
Replace silence with lack of official Errata updates--PDF has been out for some time now. What I mean is, why hasn't the FAQ page on the Shadowrun Tabletop site changed from "Coming soon"? It will eventually, I know that. And perhaps it's my lack of knowledge of how this book came together, etc.
It may also be (and probably the more likely reason) is that I am associating another issues (lack of shipping status updates or even responses, binding issues on the standard hard cover preorder I received yesterday) with the lack of official errata. As I mentioned in another post, I'll keep my mouth shut on the matter.
