Your assuming the GAs are doing that (note the FAs have no role in clearing upgrades). It is all done by computer and if a GA tries to override, their fingerprints will be all over the override and subject to audit. GA discretion has been severely restricted on upgrades due to past history of GA shenanigans. The display list was the best enforcement issue against shenanigans and GAs know they will be called out.
If there are "two lists" (which has perhaps been reported once or twice - no suggestions yet it is a widespread issue) it is a computer issue not GA caused.
