"At this stage of the preliminary analysis of DFDR Airbus has no immediate recommendation to raise to operators"

The question is much more WHY this bulletin was sent out by Airbus.

1. Because Airbus (with the approval of the French authorities) felt, now that the recorders data had been extracted, that many Airbus operators were expecting a bulletin?
(is it customary for the manufacturer to release such a bulletin immediately after data extraction if no new knowledge has been derived from the extraction?)

2 Because Airbus (again with the approval of the French authorities) wants to say something other than "no news so far"
