My understanding from the previous thread is that that's not exactly
the case. FD does more reviewing than just surface formal correctness,
otherwise it will not be possible to signal suggestions (in either
sense) to DAM. That's more than understandable, assuming DAM is a
generally busy role, FD tries to help out as much as possible; but
overall, we are just adding steps and people which need to restart
from scratch at each passage.
But hey, given that neither of the two team replied, I assume they are
fine with the current situation and they do not want to get rid of the
extra step. I think it is a missed opportunity, but is their call.
Cheers.
