</span>Well, you can get rid of the "QA Project Team" but you would then need to replace it with something like the Tempest Project, or perhaps the Test Project. You still need a PTL and cores to write, review and merge tempest fixes and upgrades, along with some of the tests. The Interop Guideline tests are part of Tempest because being there provides oversight on the style and quality of the code of those tests. We still need that.<br>
