Acknowledging our extra time is just optimism. Given what just happened with Platner, everyone agrees that running a thorough, exhaustive vetting process is the top priority for this seat.
When I said "This gives more time to arrange for a VETTED replacement without the baggage." it was an expression of relief that he stepped aside now rather than running out the clock. Every day he delayed would have robbed the party of the valuable time needed to properly vet a replacement rather than rushing through the process and giving us someone with baggage.
We now have more time than we would have had otherwise. That is a good thing, and it is unclear how my expression of relief could be interpreted as anything else. I do not know how I could have been any clearer.
