Why wasn't a harsher decision made? Here's how I saw the situation during Reddi's stream: all the elements were in place to use the bug, he was unsure if it was allowed, and he asked the chat (a powerful instance that works like word-of-mouth and a broken telephone combined). They replied that Dirty allowed it, Mizrael allowed it, and Zhenya decided to act as the detonator (how long can everyone bypass the mine, it's time to blow it up). And the bug is really nasty and rare; no one would have tried it if it hadn't been discovered this way, so I think Reddi is a positive figure in this situation, and I don't think he should be punished severely. By the way, I think the fuss arose more because the rules were apparently changed overnight by the AC, and people are confused – the AC doesn't have that kind of authority. As for my suggestion to put the question of the SHA bug to a vote on the forum, it didn't get a response from the AC.
