I think that Sefira originally consisted of 3 issues

   1. Nissuin
   2. Tispoeres
   3. Some limitation on m'lcahah

[regardless of the orginating trigger]
and that adding humros is an error

UNLESS some new aveilus was added for new, subsequent reasons to the
original minhag - EG the Crusades

Otherwise these Humros are as questionable as adding humros corn syrup and
peanut oil to Qitniyyos on Passover.

IOW w/o additional triggers, it is simply revisionistic to add to the
orginal minhag as originally formulated.

NB: I am not addressing the span of time aspect, EG 33 vs. 48.
