Me either. How about "We've committed too much money to stop now"? It
 may not be the most important consideration, but I'd be surprised if

it's not a consideration. A lot of time has collectively been spent on the project, too.

Don't forget the publishers. They have invested into this, and no
implementation would imply no revenue.

Who is rushing? Everyone who writes here has expressed their lack of
intentions of rushing into it. And of course it makes no sense to do
*anything* at all before LC have made up their mind. Remember it is
still possible they decide against it!
