The real question to ask is what will stop 100+ capitals from cleansing a system, any system, when the attack ISN'T expected.
The fact that you have to attack twice to cleanse it. The first attack may not be expected but everyone gets a time and date for the second one.

I think the most interesting part of todays battle was
the somehow extremly fast blocking of the POS system not
even concerning the numbers of combatants. So what happened
was that CCP lets coalition cap fleet jump in without support
and just closes the system while the major support fleet
is barred from the fight. So we had 700 in system. ~200-300 coalition
giving a rest of 400-500 BoB+allied while the insane
amount of estimated 500-700 other coalition fighters
are just not allowed to enter.
Tinfoil hat? Maybe, but the fairest decision of a GM
would have been to contact the FCs, ask for the numbers
each fleet has. Then just let 600 players move into that
system while concerning the apportionment of both fleets
in percentage.
This would have been a fair decision instead of just
excluding more than 60%! of the coalition forces.

I think their only perogative doing that was to keep the node online. After seeing what happened in JV1V and with the nodecrash issues there, limiting the numbers was about the only option they had to prevent a reoccurance.
Either way, the POS was taken down, and the attackers took the heavy losses they expected to take. Would any of this have changed if the Coalition were to jump 500 more people into system?

Would a capital fleet survive longer with a support fleet behind them?
Yes, because without a supporting fleet the defending
party is able to directly engage the capitals.
Of course a node crash wouldn't have been a good thing
especially if you consider that usually node crashes
wherever they happen will take effect throughout the
whole EvE-Galaxy ^^
However, it would be just fair and more evenhanded if
GMs considered the amount of pilots in each fleet and
allowed to let them bring in each numbers in reference
to the overall numbers.

Yes the coalition cap fleet would have fared better with support. However if coalition support was in system, the node would have gone bye byes. From what I understand the BoB fleet in F-T was pretty much all capitals, with a few support for killing cynos. Their main support fleet was also 1 jump away.
The long and short of it is that the Coalition took on a very ballsy op to destroy a well defended target. Losses were always going to be huge. The node held thanks to support fleets staying clear, and both sides apparently got a satisfying outcome.
