My understanding of the situation was in development HW got too big and became HW and the Narrator's book. To also include Glorantha in the box would have changed the deluxe price point to more like $55, too high for an intro product and would have messed with all the distributor pre-orders at the lower price. GV was added to split the difference, not to replace Glorantha. Glorantha was replaced by the the rules getting to big and becoming the NB. It would have also delayed the project yet another few weeks. You'd have to check with Issaries to be sure though.
