It's an opinion... The threshold was practically doubled as the Inleo proposal was about to or maybe even passed the RP threshold. Something that happened before, with the same proposal, but in a less dramatic manner.

IF, but it's a big "if", the move was motivated by other reasons too, I am hopeful to see an overhaul of the DHF system, which is definitely broken, and not because Inleo couldn't get funded (there are many reasons why they couldn't, and every little bit counts). The system itself is broken as most commenters already remarked, and we know for a long time.
