Whereas ~1/8 the plane would previously board through the carpet, it can now be ~1/2 (thus, much less exclusive and more crowded). Before, 1Ps could be first through the regular lane (and thus hang out there); now, they have no choice but to crowd around as well to come through after the first big group.
On any hub-hub route, or any hug-major outpost (LGA, SEA, BOS, etc.), it's an issue.
