Flying Speed bug

I haven't been on any of my high level alts lately but I did notice it felt slower on my level 21.
Checking the #'s showed that Sprint+Ninjarun was actually 5mph faster than 3 slotted fly. Granted thats 2 DO's and a Blessing though so that might change with SO's.
Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard

Try taking a look at your fly speed with the enhancements in it and then take them out - on all my characters I tested this on it didn't change their fly speed. Basically it seems the boost to fly speed in GR/I18 brought it up to the cap but then the Devs forgot to raise the cap by the same percentage and now it caps itself.
The funny part is that the Fly power itself is almost not even necessary anymore. With the right slotting, you can even get Hover pretty close to the cap. It's quite silly.
So in GR/I19 they increased flying speed but it seems that they didn't increase the flying speed cap so that fly out of the box is already capped. This has some ramification : enhancements don't allow you to fly faster, kheldian flight isn't better that normal fly (which is was before), any movement speed bonuses from buffs or IO sets don't increase fly speed (which kind of makes them useless), ect.
Was this intentional? Anyone else notice this?
