What happened to 491 last program year?
It had a 33000 planning level, yet only granted a bit less than 24000 in total?
Why did they waste so many 491 grant slots when there were already quite huge backlogs there, even though not as horrible as 190 backlogs?
Were there too many 191 backlogs so they wanted to reduce 491 grants to mitigate the works three years later? Or some other reasons?
By the way, do we know how many 191 backlogs are there?

33000 is for "Regional", not just 491. 491 is one of the regional visa categories. If 24000 granted it means 24/33 ~72% was available for 491 only.
