Airbus Rearranges Duties for Three A320neo Airframes

The story at the link below leaves you a little quizzical. The company seems to acknowledge that some tests have been moved from one platform to another after engine issues grounded one of the test fleet.  This happens all the time, of course, and is one of the reasons that test fleets have multiple testbeds with flexible configurations. But to say "... we simply can't comment..." on which aircraft are doing which test categories is a stronger than typical refusal. I think it translates to "We haven't decided yet," which would have been a perfectly acceptable answer.  Go figure.
