Would those fit under your seat or in the overhead bins to qualify as a carry-on in the first place?

I think this change puts that decision in the hands of the airline. It seems to me that what security allows through its gates and what the airline allows for space reasons should be two, mutually exclusive things.

That said, some things like trekking poles & pool queues can often be broken down or otherwise collapsed which shouldn't be a space concern.
