Would'n that imply that the "junior" move was done in a momentary impulse,
rather than a well thought strategy? I mean, I do understand that junior was
a *bad* outcome, but I have always believed it was at least developed for
some time!

True, but it is still way better than the subsequent junior sets! :-)
Although it is a little "scarcely populated" model, the set has plenty of
room for improvement (building another store in the "garden" plate, for
instance)
I for one would like that set to be "re-issued", maybe not as a legend but
in the same way the OCTAN station was. Not that there are no other sets I
want re-issued as well, only this one has a unique story attached to it...
