they literally talk about the realm having a similar capacity to what it did back in vanilla.
they talk about using layering because of the hordes of tourists.
they talk about collapsing and removing layers.

@Kaivax

While we are able to fit several times more players on a single realm in 2019 than was the case in 2006, we are not going to raise that cap any further, even though we have the technical capacity to do so. Raising realm caps would simply forestall the problem, letting more players in at launch but creating an unsustainable situation down the line, with severe queues when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2 of our content unlock plan.

dangit nobody beat me to the punch. the part i want to point out is where he saids letting more people play at launch, but they project severe queues when they turn off layering.

oh dang.
