Trump Orders Gutting of 7 Agencies, Including Voice of America’s Parent
The order targeting the agencies, largely obscure entities that address issues like labor mediation and homelessness prevention, appeared to test the bounds of the president’s power.

Feels like this buried the lead. As one of the folks who spent months reviewing code and updating systems, uneventful means we were successful not that Y2K didn't live up to the hype.
