some people are assuming that more satellites launched will mean more maneuvers
needed (not recognizing that what matters is only the things at the same
altitude)
plus, it's a scary large number :-)

I am under the impression that each sat is capable of about 500 over
the satellite's lifetime. I am curious as to what they are avoiding.
Assuming your number of 500 is correct, I don't see any worry here. 12
moves in 6 months makes 492 in 20.5 years. That is less than 500 and
beyond the lifetime expectation of the satellite anyway.
A I missing something?
