It was the other way around! Gordon Bethune made this his pet project to remove the templates on the security belts and then changed out all the overhead bins to bigger ones. CO then went after the business traveler by telling them we had bigger overhead bins and we welcomed their rolling bags. All of this was over 10 years ago and things have dramatically changed.
Don't be surprised to see the sizing box come back to the gate area and the boarding agent asking that each bag be placed in the box, checking those that don't fit.
