Too much doublepoling?

It's a question that's coming up finally on the WC scene! Couldn't come soon enough.
Well, I'm outta the loop. I gather it's because some dudes are DPing ENTIRE classic courses? So I'd think the answer would be to make them steeper. And to reduce subsequent flat sections.
...Or are some guys able to DP very steep climbs faster than the striders and not go under, do it as many times as a course might require, etc.
Hmmm, if a course were laid out to have twisty up's, maybe even switchbacks... In short, could features be added to discourage DP?
