Six of the eight border IT systems viewed as critical for a no-deal Brexit are at risk of failure, compounded by their reliance on each other and the fact delivery partners aren't ready.

[...] The report, prepared before Prime Minister Theresa May said she would allow Parliament to vote on a possible delay, treats 29 March 2019 as Brexit day – but it is clear some of the issues won't be resolved by a delay of just weeks.

The NAO said that six of the eight IT systems ranked as most critical for no deal by the cross-government Border Delivery Group are "at risk of not being delivered to time and to acceptable quality".

These include Defra's Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) and Automatic Licence Verification System (ALVS), both of which have their IT components listed as amber-red, and HMRC's CHIEF (Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight), which is ranked as amber.

    I think you're doing the Soylentils a disservice there. I would hope that quite a few of us would at least understand the basic practicalities of having a bunch of servers with hard mounts to each other should anything go wrong through experience with Linux, if not "proper" UNIX. Perhaps a smaller number would understand the implications of implications of introducing fsck into that mess, and hence the hilarity, but I know for a fact it's definitely not zero in the under-60 (or under-50 for that matter) demographic.
