It appears this may be the change in the “inflation model” related to the introduction of Parachains?
However, Parachains landed sometime ago. Was this really that update - just delayed?
Update 1
Bill(W3F) comments in Matrix :
that was the era when the runtime was upgraded to v9340
Update 2
The v9340 highlights and the v9340 Release Notes appear to be silent about a fairly material shift in the rewards program.
Update 3
It does appear this is a change in the inflation model related to Parachains:

The ideal staking rate in the inflation model of Polkadot is still hardcoded to … be 75% [here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/blob/master/runtime/polkadot/src/lib.rs#L523). On Kusama there is already a more advanced mechanism that scales with the number of parachains and it is probably time to update Polkadot to that model.

We should probably als… o close #3011 as we move to Polkadot, as the current approach is kind of a guess, without taking into account the number of slots that where actually auctioned.
Not exactly sure if this makes sense, as it was added mixed with the guilts PR (https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/2587), which polkadot does not have.
