It is cool, right? Such a huge hunk of aircraft removed and replaced. The earlier video shows all the work that has to be done from the inside, which is remarkable.
You're right that the original expected number was like 86, plus any ship that exhibited certain damage, but because one has until 60,000 cycles to do it and nobody wants to deal with the different maintenance program necessary to go past the 50,000-cycle LOV, the numbers will not be even a fraction of that.
