I think this was the reason to drop the verdata. But the diffs have one big advantage to that: They can be activated at runtime, so Shard 1, that finished a quest which has to change the map, can activate the patch at runtime, while another Shard still uses the unpatched map.
As the files are still opened and read, i think this was just temporarily disabled so the diffs won't interfer with the redesigned map, displaying some wrong/old scenes or something like that. But this is just guessing with a slight hope to stay with this mechanism. Nothing to rely on.
Or they just had to hurry.

Yeah, this could be the key point.
