yeh you do need to remain skeptical. there are factors which differentiate the current status from previously, namely that all paperwork bar MECA is actually confirmed to be in order, whereas in the past Alara continually made the mistake of assuming things were in order, but being sensible you cannot rule out the possibility of other leftfield derailments.
i think it is a case of there being nothing left to lodge, all other paperwork is allegedly confirmed to be in order, so it theoretically comes down to the MECA approval, which had already been given once before but due to the other delays became invalid and needed to be relodged via a new agency.
the stupidity of it is the very reason why Oman is moving to a one-stop licensing mechanism.
