ExpressionEngine 2.3 Update, Improved Release Schedule

ExpressionEngine Upgrade Policy is Retroactive

We recently announced the new upgrade policy for all our software on the EllisLab blog. There was one point that we needed to settle specifically for ExpressionEngine. Would the new policy be retroactive for expired ExpressionEngine 1.x Download Accounts?
