I've been thinking about this, and I'm not certain. It's the obvious conclusion, and a sensible one. But there may be something more. I suspect that the documents won't help Bolto, but I expect that whatever they say, they will be used in as partisan a manner as anything and used to justify even further delay, without creating actual substantive objection. If that's the case, then there's no point in providing the docs, since the lines are already formed. Might as well push forward.
