With my old ears, it sounded like a reduction in jumping passes but you might be right and it might be total jumps (no wonder Ilia is agaisnt it) There was some noise about getting rid of a short program and grading spins differently. Ex ISU president "Speedy" C. was successful at getting rid of the pattern dance and also wanted to dump the short dance. He is an interesting fellow. Even booed by fans....So how did he stay in power so long in a volunteer job and yet become rich enough to afford 5 villas? Read Oly judge Jon Jackson's book "On Edge"
