I think it's more they're no longer worried about it evolving any more.

They had said in their updates that they'd leave it yellow until it subsided.

They're still hiding behind Prolexic/Akamai. I suspect the attacker is waiting for them to drop that protection.

From a state sponsored attacker I would have expected to see a BGP attack..

A BGP attack would be a whole new level of "This is war", probably with a bit more consequences.
