That's a conflict that comes to me a lot, too. I'm not looking forward to the work required to put it all back together; having to work my way past the A; and still it could blow up in my face later.
I, like you, am quite a way down the road "past" them and I have less and less inclination to want to slow down for the catch-up. I certaily am not willing to stop and wait. All that tells me is that, if they turn toards us, they better run.
