I suspect that 2x or 3x will happen naturally within a year, given that there is a bar on fit for the event rather than a bar on quantity. People who aren’t getting in this year will surely, if they are dedicated EAs, have more to list on their EAG applications next year.
FWIW I generally agree with Eli’s reply here. I think maybe EAG should 2x or 3x in size, but I’d lobby for it to not be fully open.
