.........perhaps a major component that may be limiting are SuperDraco engines.
Super Dracos will have to be ready for the pad abort test, so if they're ready for that, then they are ready for MaxQ abort and DragonRider as well.

It was interesting at 1:10 into the video to watch the 3 mains being pulled out from the bottom of the spacecraft.
