pressure increases on ISS (that's a good thing)

http://www.spacedaily.com/2004/04011....cz4iwktb.html says,
in part:

The two-man crew of the International Space Station took steps on
Monday to temporarily close off the US module of the craft after a
leak that caused a drop in pressure was discovered, Russian officials
said.
[...]
After the crack was sealed, pressure climbed back up to 14.11 psi,
which is considered normal, they said.
[...]
Foale was to move into the Russian part of the station while the US
one remained sealed off, he said.
[...]
NASA (the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration) had
earlier assured that the loss of pressure, measured at a rate of less
that 0.04 pounds per square inch a day, was "having no impact on
station operations[....]"

I wonder what they mean by that last part? If there had been no leak,
they were going to have the crew work on Sunday anyway, and seal off the
US side, and move Foale into the Russian side, as a matter of course?
NASA apparently means something by "no impact on station operations"
that is different in meaning from that used by non-obfuscatory speakers
of English.
