2016 Rainer Permit Fiasco , how did the "all walk ups" work out?

Just curious if anyone knows how things went this season at Rainer for trips other than the Wonderland after the permit system break down and all permits were issued as walk ups. Their web sight is reporting record numbers for the Wonderland, camp sights are “saturated”. We were among those getting the bad news early with a trip rejection letter. Looks like we might have made a good decision on not flying ‘cross country and rolling the dice.
