When the rules changed after the lockout there was no tolerance, a defender couldn't interfere at all. But then they were getting slammed onto the end boards by the forechecker. And this was before icing changed. So they had to allow 'a little' interference.
But it's creeping back to more and more interference, especially when the players know how the game is managed. (Ie. It's less likely they'll call a penalty on us now)
