It looks like first-run LL assignments started routinely including P-1 factoring after trial factoring at roughly exponent 10 million.

DCs are now being assigned in the 88xxxxx range. It took ten months for DC assignments to advance from 76xxxxx to 88xxxxx, so I guess that new DC assignments will usually first do a P-1 for most of the next year, unless separate P-1 assignments are implemented in Primenet earlier.
