Porting a slant six head

I picked up my head this afternoon and was a little surprised after getting home to see that so much had been removed from the area just below the valve seats. The intake side being most pronounced cause there is quite a bit of material there on the inside ( yellow arrow ) of the head that Im assuming I am going to smooth/blend out into the bowl area?

Is this normal? Maybe they did me a favor and now I have less work to do?

This shop is one of the best around and I am sure they know what they are doing but I still need to ask.
