Bottom line is that the DOT Warning Letter (and the long-standing rules it references) speak in terms of cancellation of a specific flight. If your flight is still operating, then the DOT rules do not apply. They will when & if NZ cancels. There is no reason for you to cancel in advance. No idea when your flight is, but I would just sit back and wait for NZ to cancel your flight.
Your flight is not for 2 months. Don't cancel now. Wait until NZ cancels. If by some odd chance it does operate on 3 June, then you will have to cancel at the last minute and take the voucher.
Carriers are doing this pretty much everywhere, hoping that passengers will simply cancel themselves, but there is no reason for that.
