Why not reboost Hubble anyway if propellant permitting?
Good idea...

.....After the work on Hubble is completed, Altman and Johnson will
oversee Atlantis’ reboost of the telescope to a higher altitude,
ensuring it will survive the tug of Earth’s gravity for the remainder of
its operational lifetime. A final decision on how much altitude will be
gained by the reboost will be dependent on Atlantis’ available
propellant.
