It's quite likely that some of the staff who'd normally be involved with the channel (and relevant third-parties) are current taking annual leave, particularly if they have children. It's for that reason you wouldn't normally implement major changes due to operating with reduced staff, when normally you might need additional staff on-hand. However, it seems the new financial year and the need to save money has taken priority.
