Yes, but the reason given is that Oyster Payg can now be used on the

I don't expect one (did they have to promise not to do that when getting
the mainline TOCs to agree to accept Oyster?).

It would be fairly simple to modify the software to have a variable cap
depending on whether you've travelled via any NR stations or just used TfL
services. Unlike a paper travelcard a PAYG oyster knows exactly where you've
been and ergo so does TfL so there's no justification for a blanket cap rate
based on the fact that "well if you wanted you could have used national rail".
