I know, that's not my point. 

My point is that NASA could have dragged its feet and kept up with
buisness as usual. That would have worked for another year or so.
The significance is that recent signs are that NASA is accepting the
need to change the design and is responding. We aren't out of the woods
yet, but it is a good sign.
