Or.......
After getting no help in "stress testing" the system the are coming to the conclusion that the new "improved" expensive upgrade can't produce a roster with all the stupid petty imposed rules.
Don't forget. The previous system could do the job if left alone. It only fell down due to the company imposed rules.
I think they now see that even this expensive upgrade won't do the job either, hence the "relaxing" of some rules "for our benefit"
Just my take on it.
