That's the last sentence in the press release.  The first sentence says, 
"Today's Order also revises the operating privileges for Technician
Class licensees by eliminating a disparity ..."  at least suggesting 
that the intent of the commission was to change only Tech privileges and 
not retract any privileges from the Tech+.  This of course is just an 
announcement of the order, not the order itself.  The order will 
specifically modify each section and subsection of 47CFR97 (maybe it 
already has, I haven't looked, having been busy with my K2 in the OK 
RTTY), at which point, all should be very clear ;-)

PS To all who helped me discover a fourth set of filters on my K2, 
thanks.  They are now set up, and all appears to be working just fine.
