I would guess, and this is just my guess, that the public gave DWR a really hard time last year for taking do long to send out draw results once the draw is complete. So, this year, they bumped up the dates to curb the credit card drama.
This was the DWR giving everyone the middle finger about wanting to see tag numbers before having to apply.
They “punished” us for a year and now are getting back to a much more reasonable timeline. No doubt it can be done more quickly, but mid-May is at least in line with a somewhat rational timeline.
