Since the current TMD archive is down, I found the cache so folks can read all of the metagame reports that have ever been generated.

Thanks for this, Steve. This is incredibly useful.

What's interesting here specifically Q1-2016:
Decks with Workshops: 30%
Decks with gush (mentor/delver/doomsday): 21%
Note that the Mentor decks don't necessarily play GUSH (IE Bob MEntor, Counterbalance Mentor) so there's actually probably 5 less decks calculating toward the percentageBut sure... Workshops was fine, and Gush is the problem.

Soly is correct.
We added a new tab last night on premier events that is highly insightful, and may go a long way to explain the DCI's decision.
Take a look at it. We color coded Gush and Shop decks and provided grids that show Top 16, 8, 4, finals, and winners - as well as for all 5 MTGO p9 challenges and just Q1.

Thanks for the link Stephen, and thank you for the time and effort invested in this task.
The date in this document is just amazing.
Keep it up!

I've updated the OP, and will try to continue to update it, and format is for better presentation over time.
And, for reference, the bulk of them at the bottom are readable on the archived Vintage Encylclopedia, available here:

You may want to bookmark the OP and that post.
