POS Array Stacking.

So I was reading this:
http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/starbase-changes-for-crius/

What I noticed specifically in there was this:

Structure cost scaling

Removing slots from industry jobs discourage players from stacking more than one Starbase structure of the same type at a Control Tower. To counteract this point, we are going to give specific bonuses when Starbase structures of the same type are stacked together at the same control tower.

This bonus is going to be a flat reduction on the whole job cost price, whose amount and total bonus varies depending on the Star base structure itself.

I am just getting back to the game from a break, so please excuse me if this is similar to some other posts. I have multiple equipment assembly arrays set up and not seeing any change @ all in job install costs. Is there something that I am missing?
Does it go into effect after downtime or did they do away with this bonus having multiple assembly lines?

Thank you in advance.

They removed stacking bonuses.
There is no point to having more than one array now, apart from increasing storage space.

It was removed because it was too easy to exploit.

It was implemented simply, so it was quick and easy. To make it non-exploitable would take time.

Example: Online 20 arrays, submit job, offline 19 arrays.
