I wonder if the departure from the Season A & Season B format also have to do with the fact that most places legitimately distributing episodes have such messed up listing for the episodes (many being out of order like on Amazon) and have already broken S1 A & S1 B into season 1 and season 2...

It's possible that from a marketing stand point, and because there are such long breaks between episodes they felt that shortening the amount of episodes per season would be less confusing in the long run. But I also think that because SU is not on a regular airing schedule it may also make it easier psycologically to wait it out for new episodes.

Example: with many other TV shows a mid season break or the odd mini break drives me absolutely nuts but a 5 to 6, to even a year long break between seasons I find a lot more endurable. I suppose a lot of that is in part due to the fact that at a seasons' end there is a sense of finality even if there is a cliffhanger because you know that you're either close to or at the end of an arc and you can start to anticipate the next....
