I agree, it would be stupid not to. But I also imagine (as Senti is pointing out) they are constrained by what data is available to them for the external control arm. I just hope this is separate when the TLD comes out. Seems a big waste not to do this.
Yeah, I doubt they do anything in a serial fashion. Lots of prep work done ahead of time. They aren't waiting for one thing to come to fruition before starting the next thing.
