grr I got excited thinking that my VS-marketed (VS8) Delta-ticketed (006) segment would earn based on distance then noticed the blanket disclaimer

The flight numbers are KLM now because they were reissued in to a Z fare because of the upgrade.
I'm confused about this because it says different things in different places on DL.com (surprise!) but I think the ticketing carrier no longer matters after Jan 1, right?
See here:

(AF is a better example than KL because the current KL table has all sorts of weird footnotes.)
Footnote 1 in the up to Dec 31 2017 table says "Partner-marketed flights that are not ticketed by Delta", meaning 006-ticketed AF flights earn based on spend. But footnote 1 in the after Jan 1 2018 table does not say that -- it just says "Partner-marketed flights will earn miles based on a percentage of distance flown".
So I think a KL-marketed flight (such as a flight which has had GUCs applied to it), even if 006-ticketed, will earn based only on distance after Jan 1 2018?
