I figure there were good reasons why not to, but this really should've been done for Vulcan 1.0.

They had to get it out of the door at some point. The industry support they received was tremendous as it was and I imagine more waiting would have made some people there very nervous. I think it turned out well as it did.

I guess it would have if it could have. It's also about politics. Strong support for Vulcan, after it came out, made this possible.
