The results of their work would then be sent to the "ELT" who will make a strong commitment to making a preliminary decision within 48 additional months time, followed then by placing an order and securing the remaining 2032 delivery slots.

I think we see it the same way. Start with “close” Europe and the LRs and move into the xlr for other Europe.
Just like we converted the 320s to 321s to 321lrs soon 321xlrs
I don’t think it will change the airframe count just the type of 321
