My thinking is that, like JRut said, the offense knows what they are doing and typically when they commit PI it is intentional because of a bad throw. And the offense got an automatic first down so in the interest of equity they should lose a down whrn they commit.

I've heard rumblings that it will be changed back next season.

(Rule 10 in the book still says DPI results in an automatic first down. Editor missed that part.)
