Not having updates really affects TARC and SLI where teams buy dozens of motors for competition purposes where changing motors at a later date really messes things up. Sport flying is one thing, but competitions that go on for many months need reliable motor supplies, and not having updates makes it really difficult.
NASA made all sorts of exceptions for SLI teams late in the program year after motor availability ended up being worse than expected.
