No. Never said that.
The new RSV rules are another deal with the devil. I don't even mind the extensions. At least on RSV, unlike you as a lineholder, I can generally see the extension develop before they actually assign it. Its in the tea leaves, so to speak.
The flexibility and extra coverage that the RSV extension days gives them, is where we may have given them more than we got in return. Just MHO.
