It's unfortunate that the regulations were not immediately updated to reflect this, but I'm positive that was only because everyone involved is a volunteer and has other priorities, not because anyone was intentionally being secretive.
Unfortunately, whatever the reality, the appearance is that Sebastien wanted to, if not outright hide, at least bury this information in scrambler documentation that attracts much less community attention than the regulations.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wca-scrambler/3x_hN9Y4HCMSebastien in WCA Scrambler Team email said:I think that these limits should not appear in the regulations (4b3a-4b3c in the current draft). There is absolutely no use in that for anyone and for documentation, the TNoodle documentation seems absolutely sufficient to me.
Additionally:
The above is a direct quote from a conversation I had with a WRC member. I confirmed with Tyson that this was an accurate representation of the events prior to posting.we had agreed on filtering 0 and 1 moves from solved, or so i thought; then Sebastien says "Oh hey btw Board wants 4 for 2's and 8 for Pyra"
Tyson: We agreed on that? I wasn't aware we had discussion
I don't like that we have regulations enacted unilaterally without proper consideration (see Thom's comment #75) and, if this (admittedly non-representative) poll is any indication, against the desires of the community.
