No, he's talking about the min-relay-fee drop that you wrote:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3305

Based on what I saw in my logs, the double-spends were mainly being done
by exploiting the fact that much of the hashing power has reverted your
10x relay fee drop as it makes wasting bandwidth and mempool RAM easy.
(so much so that crashing nodes with OOM's is fairly cheap)
