This may be a little late information and only half applies to your question.
When I looked into Kin for the UTPNCM programme they had advised me that the possible reason why Kin was no longer suitable is because the Universities were changing the programs from 4 to a 5 year, which is longer than the maximum time given for UTPNCM (4 years).
I am just hazarding a guess, but maybe that applies to ROTP as well.
