This seems like weird PR engineering to me. Everyone and their dog can get the dev seeds for free and without an NDA if they want them. You'd run into trouble if you disclosed something based off of a pirated/torrented seed, but all you have to do is wait and "rediscover" it in a legit copy, or pay the $99 when you know you have a bug to sell. There is no real-world change here, just an administrative one. It seems like this is just about politics and is fairly inconsequential.
