Allowing more efficient geared turbofan aircraft and propeller aircraft without the current seat limit doesn't seem like reeling in DCI to me.
If the definition were changed over 50 seat aircraft like the Q400 or new generation follow-on would count against the permitted aircraft limit. Right now as long as they're under the gross weight limit they don't.
It is definitely a tightening of scope.
