TM, as far as I am aware nothing is decided. Reducing power is one option that might be seen as demonstrating a desire to maximise safety to placate those of a nervous disposition. On the other hand I would agree with you that this could be seen as showing a lack of confidence - anyway it would be a political decision rather than a technical one.
