I believe Formula Mazda had fewer entries in NEDiv than F500 had in PacNW - there's only one car campaigning there. I don't see anyone lamenting the imminent demise of FM, and certainly nobody is trying to radically change the rules to prop it up. I believe that if you look at FV in PacNW, you'll see very low numbers, as well. F500 is centered in SEDiv, NEDev, CENDiv, and MWDiv - so let's look at what the marketers call 'same-store sales' if we're going to honestly evaluate participation. If we got all the cars out to the track, I think we'd be in fine shape; my fear is that a radical change to the ruleset will guarantee that many of those cars will stay in the garage.
