In my opinion, this is just plain stupid. Our previous procedures weren't broke, so why "fix" them?

Also, on the -88, I can count on one hand the amount of departures we've delayed because the numbers weren't ready. I don't see where the problem is.
I don't think that the procedures are broke but when I watch departure time come and go waiting on the numbers, something is broke somewhere else that is obviously more difficult to fix than having us push without the numbers.
