Given that the changes are directly in line with the public requests, what 
is the purpose of additional delay?

Remember that our job is not to negotiate the contract but to offer comments.

That's just a bit counter-productive, don't you think?

What are the contractual benefits of the existing contract that could 
possibly make it preferable to the revised Alternative B?
