Thank you for that Jeff. As one who works frequently with Boeing as a subcontractor (but not on the 787) I will say that Boeing needs to update it's supplier quality systems and that their use of Exostar on the 787 is a big mistake. While Raytheon, Lockheed, and many other firms like them also use it, IMO it's a dated PITA that should never be used on complex systems.
As to their supplier quality systems I am still receiving, every week, Boeing quality and deliquency reports on contracts that ended years ago.
Given all this I'm still a big Boeing fan. I really hope they can find the flaw in the batteries quickly and get those planes back in the air.
