I thought it was canon that after Trek 6, Starfleet was being drastically reduced since it wouldn\'t have to focus on military issues and would return to it\'s mandate ForScience and diplomacy. Which carried through to next gen, and it was Wolf 359 (they dropped the over complicated entrance test that rejected more than 99% of applicants, started spamming ships like the Defiant class, Intrepid class, and other smaller more manoeuvrable, heavier armed platforms instead of big stateships like the Galaxy class; note even the new flagship line of Sovereign class is smaller and more heavily armed than the Galaxy classes) that prompted a massive expansion and re-arming in anticipation of a full on Borg attack (that thankfully didn\'t happen). So Starfleet was in a much better position to take on the Dominion after the Borg. If 359 hadn\'t happened then the smaller ship and officer cadre possessed by the Fleet, for mainly peaceful exploration, would have been swept aside.
