Over on Blizzard Watch, they just posted 'same thinking' and reinforcement for the upcoming additional change to our approach:

In essence, as much as we enjoy the 'friends and family' approach to bringing all that are on to the flexible raid size, it is impeding the progression rate. Significantly.
Let's not get our wires crossed over this -- it is a very sensitive topic: we PREFER to have everyone in the raid instance. We like raiding together. However, we need a progression group that can progress, separate from a social group where progression rate is not as much of a primary measure.
By reviewing the many several weeks of logs on warcraftlogs.com, we are bringing the top performers in the new progression raid group.
Combined with establishing a progression raid group, we will work with the raiders that are not presently performing at the progression level yet are genuinely interested in improving their performance -- that does not mean they can bridge that gap, however if they can, we want to assist them in moving up sooner rather than later. Scott Andrew's assertion is that it is a steep curve from casual to progression in WoD - agreed; however, not impossible.
Accept and move forward.
Not having cleared Imperator on Normal, let alone on Heroic, and therefore the lack of the 'Ahead of the Curve' means we make changes now to improve the road ahead.
