Could this be an indication that rules are changing and 2nd round rejects might be considered? Not counting too much on SIA though.

You are correct in saying that the online application asks no question about whether you have applied before.
However let's wait for someone to post his online application experience and what happened next.
I think that post will say that as part of the first interview the candidate had to fill out a printed form containing most of what he stated in his online application, as well as answering a number of questions such as whether he has any relatives in SIA, whether he has applied before for any position or worked in SIA before, whether he has any criminal record or financial embarrassment etc etc. Nothing really different from the Word document previously available.
What is really happening is that all kinds of idiots who obviously don't qualify still apply and they are getting tired of processing such applications.
The new format allows stupid applications to be weeded out electronically.
