Upvote changes

I read on a few posts that the upvote count to auto-confirm has gone from 2 to 3. Why?
With the complaints about users not confirming, there is no option now but to have others go through and confirm. That takes a LOT of time to do and most just won't do it. Getting 3 upvotes after a stale post (i.e. After a couple of days) will be extremely difficult to get. For instance - I went through about 8 pages of djalone pending and ONLY confirmed posts that had 2 thumbsup already. If I'm going to spend the time to do that, I want to know it will result in something.
What was not working with the lower limit of 2?
Lastly - is the auto-confirm "really" an autoconfirm? Or does a moderator have to press the final button? I ask because of all the older ones I confirmed, I have not seen any show up in the recently named list.
