To me they are moving from impossible to overtake to impossible to defend.
Sadly, the message they seem to have heard the loudest is "we want lots of overtaking!", and you can't get more overtaking than two cars constantly swapping places. At the moment, it's all shouty "this is great stuff" from the commentators and this will be in the ears of FOM / Liberty who will see it as successful.
I think they will, however, adapt the DRS rules over time, perhaps not until next season, maybe during this season, if it does just become a repetitive and boring swap of places back and forth.
The drivers may end up forcing the FOM's / Liberty's hand by doing stuff like we saw last week - hard braking to try to get the DRS for the next straight. It was fun / funny / silly (however one sees it) for one race, but if it happens a lot and, no doubt, causes a shunt, I can see DRS being altered to avoid shouts of "F1 is really silly now!".
We'll just have to wait and see how the season unfolds.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.
