Question Sufficient Life Raft Capacity?

The pictures show the two forward slide / rafts with people upon them plus an apparently similar number of people on the wings.

We now know that the rear slide / rafts may be unavailable in case of an A-320 ditching -- quite possibly in other a/c.

Were the two forward slide / rafts adequate to accommodate all SLF or do the certification authorities need to look deeper into this?
