I honestly thought they were changing the system so you had to 3 (?) 8000-ers before you could get a permit, but I can't find any evidence of that.
A system that mandates more travel to Nepal and up mountains would be good for the country. It solves the overcrowding on Everest, weeds out some of the underqualified people, generates yet more revenue, etc.

Also we keep talking about the classic, Nepalese southern route but you can also climb it from the Chinese side and they have recently introduced a permitting system to limit numbers and clean up the Northern side.
