Maybe not.

There are further factors involved also according to usual communication challenges.

I got the impression that progress would be hindered (or even blocked?) for a while
in selected subsystem areas.

Possibly known examples:
* More powerful computation equipment?
* Software improvements?
* Financial incentives?

How long will the integration take (if you would like to take another look at
