In a nutshell:-
Someone stormed into the operating theater, grabbed a pair of defibrillators and then shouted - "STAND BACK!" - before unleashing a double dose of 80000 volts to an otherwise sleeping patient. Following this he probably then turned to the startled chief surgeon and quietly said something along the lines of - "that should do it" - before walking out with a bottle of whiskey in his hand.
The net result is that the order-book has been rebooted.
0.003 is the new 0.001.
This is the new XMR.
