I have run into a situation similar to this before when I was in the International Union of Operating Engeneers (IUOE). I was a surveyor and some how we ended up in their union. We when it came to fighting issues equipment operators got first pick. When it came to who got what equipment operators got first pick.
I think WotC is doing the same thing. D&D and Magic get first priority and all their other projects (Avon Hill) get to fight over second place.
