If you would listen to the rumors - and do a little research - 
instead of yammering about Elecraft hiding things from the 
customers and hinting about evil motives, you will find out 
that the hardware AGC modification (the one you're talking 
about) is still under review.  Elecraft have made a change 
and are evaluating it.  There is consideration of further 
increasing the threshold at which the HAGC begins to act. 

Why on earth would Elecraft publicly discuss a change that 
they haven't finalized?  The information you're getting in 
in pieces is still "work in progress."  I'm sure Eric or 
Wayne will announce all the details when they are final. 
Public discussion on their part prior to having the 
answers would be premature.
