Things got a bit split up amongst the various forums and threads, 'case anyone missed it, action starts to day, culminating on Saturday, some details summarized here:

And, I believe AA will start announcing this stuff this morning.

On March 28, we'll begin moving Dividend Miles® members into the AAdvantage program. This transition to a single loyalty program will take several days.
We’ll send you more details about the benefits you can expect as soon as everything has been completed.
If you're traveling, you may not receive your flight notifications in the coming days, so make sure you check your flight status with our mobile app before departing for the airport.
Thank you for your continued loyalty and for flying with us.
Regards,
Suzanne L. Rubin
President, AAdvantage Loyalty Program

It's mentioned here: http://viewfromthewing.boardingarea....-upgrade-work/, but I can't tell if that is just Gary stating it or something that Suzanne Rubin said in her interview.
I was just wondering if I missed it being announced in any way-- which I agree, it probably won't be.

Can't wait for this ridiculous rule to go away. Booked LHR-LAX 7 months out, not a single seat shown as reserved when booking (yeah, I know that doesn't meen that much but it's a sign there's a reasonable chance that there aren't any other EXPs booked yet) and I find myself 11th on the upgrade list with all 10 people in front of me classified as "through" passengers according to check-in agent.

-T gone
Looking at DFW-HKG #138 PALL list and 2 domestic lists for today, -T designation is gone for upgrades.
-T still exists for standby, quite sensibly.

Something even more official: It is mentioned on this page.
500 Mile Upgrades
Look under "What order are upgrades confirmed?" The second bullet point of "Upgrade not confirmed at check-in?" explicitly calls out connecting passengers.
