I'd be very surprised to learn that the NBF has anything to do with the Kachoong bolts. Do you really think they would mess with such an historical route? Unlikely. Hence the reason why they haven't touched the likes of Anxiety Neurosis etc. Previous discussions between those for and against the re-equipping of certain routes have taken place - with agreement made between both parties. Additionally - do you really think they would bother installing bolts to the photographer's ledge? Yeah right! Like they give a damn for that! The inclusion of 4 bolts on top - one pair with chains - would point to a school of abseilers more likely! If I'm wrong though - then perhaps one or two members have gone 'renegade'? It wouldn't surprise me - based on Weakboy's comment - it looks like they would be in good company... Either way - it's time the NBF made clear their intentions.
