It was a result of a deal with Ecclestone. The official explanation was that McLaren would struggle to fit into the smaller garages and smaller paddocks (especially with their huge media center).
The FIA hadn't opposed this solution, but the rumour has it that Mosley made an unofficial agreement with Dennis that the latter will step down from his position after the 2008 season. However, Dennis has recently changed his mind, which Mosley is not happy with. Since the allocation of pits is decided by FIA (Mosley), not by FOM (Ecclestone), McLaren got demoted to the back of the pitlane.
