“I am very proud of the entire NAFTU team for reaching these critical milestones of releasing the software to industry, as well as completing the test procedure official dry runs,”

Considering the process is more than a year behind schedule, and has hampered at least one companies’ efforts in a very competitive segment, he’s proud of. . . mediocrity? I am sure there are a number of whys and wherefores, but, to paraphrase:
