I think we're in agreement; I'm just saying that the decision to block everything is tactical, not technical. I'm saying they
could fairly easily block just those works required, not that they
should.
If you read their full page, they say in so many words that they're “caving” in the short term and blocking everything until the appeal is over in large part because the appellate court would be more prone to reject their arguments out of hand if they completely ignore the lower court ruling. They want the chance to make their case on its merits before the appellate court, and hopefully win on the merits.
But the implication is that they'll revisit that choice in favor of the best long-term policy once the higher court has ruled.
