Makes sense, but for me, and I suspect the ACO too, the championship is less important than Le Mans itself. I believe applying success ballast to the preceding rounds is one of many compromises the ACO has had to make to bring manufacturers on board, but dug their heels in when it came to Le Mans. I don't think they want it, but have been persuaded to use it. Not sure if I've worded that in a way that makes sense.
