It doesn't. In fact, "extracting" works from DP earlier was a big push
I made a couple of years ago. At that time, such two stage (or other
great-than-one stage) output was something that didn't fit well with
the workflow. Maybe that's something that could be revisited.
It's important to not double the effort involved at the final posting
phase (whitewashing) through such a two stage process. But there are
several good ways of insuring this, which could be incorporated with
the process.
There is definitely flexibility.
