Maybe they were, but I know I my experience when talking to the Reps involved in the process, many have stated that it was about getting the job done, and getting to an agreement. Maybe that is not the case, but it is not the perception out there.

I know at times, the responses that I have gotten from those involved on both sides of the merger, felt that some items "might" have been overlooked, not by design, just because of the circumstances, and the swiftness that the agreement was crafted.

*This is not just about the CPS stuff, but also other items in the contract. It is what it is, and looking in the rear view mirror does nothing, but the whole experience should be a good lesson.
