That is interesting. Are there any public sources on this with more 
technical details?

I'd like to understand what exactly has changed.

Actually, I think that if the change they did makes sense technically 
(at least it has a good effect), we can probably use that as a positive 
example to show to other CDNs / hosting providers / etc.

Maybe a blog post about this in the tor project's blog would even make 
sense.

Because there's a lot of discussion about how bad CloudFlare was with 
the captchas, but not really anything that I could find easily about 
positive changes they did.

I think it's important to highlight improvements when they happen.
