They may get into what's up with Italy, and whether that's a bot or whatever, but I doubt it. I suspect the decision is "Wow. That idea seemed better at the time. Let's just pretend that never happened," and they'll move on.
Dreg: Glory, Your Most Fresh-And-Cleanness. It's only a matter of time-- Glory: Ugh, everything always takes time! What about my time? Does anyone appreciate I'm on a schedule here?! Tick tock, Dreg! Tick freakin' tock!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That seems like a very reasonable call, victor.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The excerpt has Buffy saying "set up two other Slayers to be me," so it doesn't seem they're going the Buffybot route. I would assume actual Slayers would be more capable of dealing with any trouble the decoy draws and of reporting said trouble back to HQ .

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Setting up decoy Buffys, one very public, is not a bad idea.
I despise Andrew. I hate him more when he comes up with not-bad ideas.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I bet the Immortal's really going to be surprised....

Having just rewatched all of Season 7, I find I am large again with the Andrew love.
Also, from what we know of the Immortal, he probably doesn't rightly care if it's Buffy or another slayer or a bot, so long as he's enjoying himself ...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It is squee worthy to see 'new' Buffy discussion for the first time in many years..

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Per victor's take on the decision: If he's right, they basically said "Ptewi! We shall never speak of it again!" How apropros.
