I don't trust you, Microsoft. I'm going to let that cook for another week or two and see if/how many times you recall and re-release it.

The original form of Pintsize from Questionable Content.  He is a small blue robot with green arms and a green CD/DVD tray.  He has white eyes and a line for a mouth.  He is saying, "Wait, I'm supposed to be HELPING?"

I strongly suspect that the Carls are going to put up scaffolding all the way across. Someone in the crowd said this would be done for safety reasons (e.g., give them the things they need to clip to).

Extreme close-up on C-SPAN lady again. Now back to normal zoom. She is back on the screen, framed by the Carls on multiple levels of scaffolding.

Ok, decision time from the Carls: Do they need more scaffolding, or is it time to pull letters? Carl (sitting) is pondering deep philosophical questions.
Four of the Carls.  They seem a little tired, but that's to be expected.  They've put together a lot of scaffolding in the last 90 minutes.

Carl (right) is contemplating the words of Descartes.

While I appreciate the symmetry, I feel that if the whole thing had been set up moved one section left, they could already be pulling letters.
The Carls, constructing scaffolding, in front of the Kennedy Center, so that they may remove the words "THE DONALD TRUMP AND".
