Thanks, i still think they should have withdraw sashas statement earlier and made if more official though.
I don't want to defend them for things I don't know, and I don't know what exactly was happening. But it might be possible that they wanted to drop the entire amount at once first, but then found out that it would cause legal problems which forced them to change their plans very promptly.
But yeah, I wish that projects would be more anticipating of these problems at the very least.
