That was a very big issue. They messed up the start of the that resort. Head of DVC was fired over it.
A better example is Saratoga this year. They are creating a new "room category" for certain rooms that have a view of the lake and are closer to the hospitality house. So the point cost for those rooms are going up. But the ownership has to stay constant forcing them to lower and equal amount of points from the remaining rooms in the resort. So while one section goes up, another goes down. The same works for the year round totals. They must stay the same because it's still an ownership that's value isn't in the number of points itself but in the value of those points. It sounds redundant, but I don't know how else to explain the point system and why disney can't just change how many points needed to stay in a room. Seasons can change, rooms can get new categories, etc. But it all must equal out.

So what you are saying is that, a resort has a total number of points per year, say a million, and that million points can be divided among room types and dates however they see fit, but they can't change the total of a million points (unless they expand the resort)?
I asked two different DVC salesmen about that over the last year and both of told me that over time we should consider buying add-on points because over time, our points will be worth less as more and more weeks will get moved into peak seasons as well as some point requirements will just flat increase.
Now, it's certainly possible that the salesman were not correct.
