A380-800 Ground Operations

Taken from Jeppesen 10-1P2 for ATHENS....

Engines 1 and 4 should be shut-down when vacating the RWY after landing started up for departure on the RWY. Taxiing should be performed on engines 2 and 3. Alternatively in order to minimize RWY occupancy, engines 1 and 4 should be started up on TWY D facing south, abeam link D2 for departure from RWY 03R, or on link D13 facing east for departure from RWY 21L. If engines 1 and 4 are started up prior to entering the RWY they should be kept at ground idle until lined up for departure
First time that i have seen such restrictions for the A380, my question is why do they exist? Are the taxiways that narrow that they dont want engine FOD? Or?

As for
In order to keep the required minimum edge clearances, judgemental oversteer shall be used
would lead me to believe that the airport isnt ready for the A380.
