I agree. It also seems awkward for Foster's case of requesting 6 weeks for a 6wd, and ending up with 5. It seems like anything you want a full count of needs to be high on your list (even higher than how much you actually want it, unless you're willing to accept, e.g., a technology-push 5wd). Conversely, as you describe, items that are useful individually aren't distributed fully by the system.

Complicated problem we've got here. I'm glad they're taking steps towards handling it, even if it does have some odd consequences.
