Yes, precisely. (But not exactly what you mean under that). Because 
after getting rid of Leadbeater the campaign against Blavatsky could 
begin. For those criticisers should always be busy, and it doesn't 
matter at all, who'll be next, for a big majority of them establish 
their self, not the truth. In the outer world the idea that HPB was a 
liar and charlatan already prevails, so it would be possible to 
inculcate it inside the Theosophical Society too. Still they need HPB 
as a good means against CWL, AB, AAB, AAAB, AAAAAB etc, but after 
smashing them they will easily drop her overboard. You may read the 
works by K. Paul Johnson to see beginning of this process. Some 
leaders don't know how counteract it and prefer to keep the current 
situation. Regardless of his personal qualities and real value of his 
books, Leadbeater still serves as a good buffer.
