Pyro also says [to paraphrase] "We all agreed it's been too long without a new addition".
It could be that they said that there would be no new craft, got delayed, and didn't realize how long it would take, and decided "Dang, it's been this long since we've added anything new, maybe we should add just 1 to keep things fresh while we work on CT." [not a paraphrase, a supposition]
