You are right, Teaboy - it is correct.
The system is made for the "worst case scenario", so it does not do any harm when all the passengers are sitting in the most forward or rearward available position.
The reason for the early removal of the back stairs will remain in the dark - however the situation of boarding with only one entry is quite common. Imagine for example using the airbridge (happens occasionaly) or boarding at the rear during a handicaped passenger is entering in front.
The system was designed by the manufacturer of the aircraft in cooperation with FR - you can be sure, that it works in all cases!
