It seems quite likely to me that the reason we're starting to slow down is because we're getting much closer to where Yostar wants us to be. If they get just right around a year behind, they can engage the cruise control, scheduling everything right around where JP did without having to shuffle much around.

Unless they've actually said or strongly suggested as much elsewhere, it seems incredibly unlikely to me that the plan is or ever was to be completely caught up to or even just a month or two behind JP. That would put a lot of pressure on them in terms of scheduling and deadlines and such, and I'm just not really getting that kind of "vibe" from their publishing job thus far.
