I don't understand all the fuss about the seals and why it should take long to fix.  Evidently, O-rings were a bad idea in this case.  When they've decided that this was the trouble, surely it should take only a few weeks to
invent a suitable band-aid to fix the problem for the next year or two of flights, while a better method can be perfected.  The pressures and temperatures seem quite modest, until the seal breaks.
