It's also at least a decade away on the current timetable, so a lot could change by the time they get around to their analysis on the A Line.

Quite true, but the horizon is very far off, in terms of provincial politics, and a lot can happen either way in the meantime. We could end up with a neo-Harris government that decides to kill Metrolinx entirely in favour of corporate tax cuts. 0_o
That's why it's disappointing that Metrolinx and the Province essentially decided to put off figuring out a long-term funding framework (e.g. through the use of highway tolls). Instead they're just going to build projects until they deplete their current funding envelope (~$16 billion) and sort of hope something else comes along by the time they run out of money to pay for the rest of the RTP (another ~$35 billion).
