I'm not an expert on batteries, but isn't what we're seeing a result of
30 years of advancement in battery technology?  Now they can pack 1000
CCA into the same package size that only permitted 400 CCA back in 1970. 
This reserve lets us start at 0 degrees with a 5 year old battery when in
the old days you had to replace it after about 3 years to be able to
start when the temperature got cold.
