Update from SFC reps on preferencing and filling the gaps

Preferencing and filling gaps should be seen as two separate processes.

They may also move a CSM1 who is covering down at CSS into a temporary CSM2 location.
At this time LU has accepted our demand that they do not make sideways moves (same grade) under filling the gaps.
