Surely a flexible approach is best (and what they’ve said will happen)?
But this is the source of my scepticism. A flexible approach post-merger, as you've outlined, would be better and is what they've claimed will happen. Now, I've always been sceptical of this - basically, if you have the resources on standby to do an optional opt at any point, you have the resources to do a permanent opt; therefore, the only reason it's not permanent is because they aren't planning on doing it for anything but pre-planned events. The fact that something like this is happening already, suggests to me that such scepticism is rightly placed.
