PartnerPlusBenefit changes

I am enrolled in PPB Italy and today I received an email announcing "enhancements" to the program. It is always complicated to decipher how to get awards and upgrades through this program, but my understanding is that they increased some of the points earned with premium fares, increasing also the number of points needed for upgrades and tickets, starting Sep 1st.
However, if I read it correctly, it appears that with the new structure it will be possible to get upgrades on discounted business class tickets not only D (as it is now) but also Z and P.

If it is the case, this would be a positive change, even if it costs more points, because as of now to get the possibility of upgrades you have to buy very expensive tickets. If indeed we will be able to upgrade from discounted business tickets, I could finally be able to use the points.
Did anyone, maybe in other nations' program, received the news and has the same read as I do?
