General Build LV Mid-Late 2020 Plan Changes?

[aclsf]

I started TrainerRoad earlier this year and progressed through SSBLV1, SSBLV2, GBLV (mostly), and some of Specialty Climbing Road Race LV. Afterwards, I went back to SSBLV2 and completed it. Out of curiosity, I revisited the workouts within GBLV. However, I noticed several workout changes compared to when I went through it late June through August 2020:

Week 1:
Carpathian Peak changed to Avalanche Spire
Spanish Needle -3 changed to Williamson +2

Week 2:
Lion Rock to Spanish Needle -3

Week 3:
Junction -1 to Gabb

There’s 1 or 2 other changes on the set of workouts after the mid-plan rest week and ramp test, but not as noteworthy as above.

I wasn’t able to find any TR blog articles or forum posts about this in my limited search efforts.

Any reason why these changes were implemented?

Thanks
