The PWA now provides a segway to growing them without increasing the mainline fleet count above 767 AND without parking 1:1 70 seaters to get there.
But, yeah... you're right. 223 is less than 153, right?
The max number of 76-seat aircraft that could be authorized has been dramatically reduced, as has the number of 70-seat aircraft. Now they are limited to 102 70-seat airacaft, vs an unlimited number.
The end result of all of this is fewer seats at DCI, a larger percentage of Delta system block hours at mainline.
