John,
It has delayed the launching of birds, as the old ones does not die of
quick enough for the planned schematic to maintain 24 birds, instead we
see 30-32 birds active for many years, and some being "off air" backups.
On the other hand, it gives more time to adjust the new birds with new
signals.
