It looks to me like this is going to put pressure on the window size (currently 3 weeks). Folks can now wait for 3 weeks if they really want the YC signal to kick in, unless other forces are working to counter act the waiting.
Think of it as a star which is trying to explode because of all those gases burning away, and gravity is keeping it together. The size of the star is the equilibrium point of the differential equations describing this dynamic.
One of the signals that was keeping the 3 week window to 3 weeks could have been the YC investments (gravity), but now that gravity has been set to a lower level, the 3 week window will expand..to account for this.
