Are binary Earth-likes and Earth-likes with a moon now common after 2.3?

I have over the past few years scanned about 250 earth-likes and a few with rings but I never discovered a twin Earth-like orbiting binary pair and never found any Earth-likes with a close orbiting moon then today in the space of 10 minutes I not only discovered a binary pair of Earth-like in close orbit I also found 2 Earth-likes with a close moon!
All 3 discoveries were only 2.5k LY from the bubble and all within 100 ly of each other.
What's the chances of that? Or has there been a tweak to the procedural generating format.

I suspect you've just been damned lucky. Changing the probability of particular planets appearing is a low level change to the forge that is unlikely to happen because either every system that's been visited would need to be locked into what had just become the "old" forge or everybody's system map data and first discoveries would have to be wiped as all systems could change (just imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth).
 
I've found 13 ELW's since 2.3 dropped.
None were of this configuration.
in fact of the 13 one was ringed and another had a moon.

They can't really change the way systems are generated without changing systems that have already been discovered.
Systems aren't generated once and then stored somewhere, there are re-generated every time someone jumps in or even looks at the system map of someplace they have been before.

So if they changed the stellar forge in a way that changed the planet types in systems, they would change everywhere, not just in undiscovered systems.
Of course it wouldn't affect hand placed systems in the bubble or systems that frontier has "locked in" due to name changes or other changes that effectively convert them to hand placed systems. Such as Beagle Point.
