I also thought that locks made more sense (for their originally intended purpose) when they were a reward for exceptionally popular songs and not "the primary way of getting songs in", but limiting them to 50% of the field somewhat mitigates that problem even if the issues still exist for those 128 songs. A whole other 128 songs nominated by classic votes/bubble is still a fairly large amount. (And for people who participated in the full lock fest last year, having 128 non-locked songs will probably feel even bigger in comparison)
