According to the Horn report, "Again this quarter, the Defense Department revised its number of mission-critical systems, this time adding 333 systems to its total count"

So at least as far as DOD is concerned, the number of most important systems seems to be rising not falling.

To my knowlege, the term "high impact" has been applied to programs not systems.

Also, the discrepancy between the high-impact program readiness and the 95% overall federal systems readiness (or 97%, what's a couple of percent between friends) is explained by the fact that a different criteria was used for determining readiness. The latter number refers to the readiness of the Federal systems alone, the former takes into account the readiness of all state, local and private organizations the Federal program must coordinate with. If a handful of state Medicaid agencies are non-compliant, for example, the whole program could have a not-ready status.
