The purpose of this change is to get rid of the ability to forgo traversing House Space if you're going between the Taus and Liberty. Currently, one doesn't have to go through either Bretonia or Kusari because of this route, which removes a lot of potential activity for the House factions, particularly between cardamine/slaves smugglers and the KSP/BPA/other lawfuls. More than just them are affected, of course, and the primary goal here is actually not driven by economics, Xoria. Instead, the intent is to force the people who benefit from not going through Kusari or Bretonia to take more risks by actually doing so, plausibly generating more activity within those Houses. At the moment, sailing through Baffin and Coronado, the likelihood of being challenged with RP/PvP/anything along the way is too low and the route is too safe.
I would have preferred the Coronado-Cortez link be deleted, but the idea of stretching it out across the whole system of Coronado, thus making it less appealing (to anyone who isn't AFK trading) than Manchester, is okay with me.
From what I've been told, there have been a few setbacks regarding the small region of space beneath Liberty, which are currently being discussed and worked out. When will it happen? Probably not too soon, but we'll see.
