That's a fair statement. More cars would be able to make their minimum weight, but at the cost of those who already CAN do so gaining even more flexibility re: where they put it back in.
How about that 1.5" OD x .75" wall tubing for the upward cage elements connecting the main hoop feet with the rear strut towers...?
Point being, no change is ever completely "competition-neutral," and likely has both upsides and downsides.
