This is focusing more so on the mentality for joining the server. Most people have the mentality that joining with just an ALU is sufficient. Some Students and current members have only built an ALU for their trial and that was the extense of their redstone knowledge at that time.
I personally hate the mentality of "just enough". It makes assessing Testificates hellish and it is just not a good standard to go by.
The hopes with this is that the standards are not lowered. In my individual trials, I will still ask about what dataloops are, how 2s complement works, basic computational aspects. This is just making the terms for entry more vague so as to force students to "get creative" if you will.
This was also something that Staff voted unanimously on.
