I'm just curious why the change from requiring 3 to 5 requests/offers from last year--I was traveling through pretty much all of the promotion period, and now I'm scrambling to find 5 things I'd be comfortable offering by tomorrow (since I strongly prefer historical fandoms, that adds an extra layer of research/accuracy stress to participating in an exchange like Kaleidoscope).

I will, I hope, be able to come up with enough nominations to be able to participate, but I was just wondering what the reasoning behind the change is, as it seems to raise the participation bar quite a bit.
