It doesn't confirm (at least as far as I'm concerned) that Elites CAN use miles to upgrade Q, T and V fares. It just differentiates Elite upgrades from non elite upgrades.
I have this sinking feeling that this was yet another badly written CO release that will be "Clarified" or "enhanced" to show that no one can upgrade Q,T,V with miles, and EUA's will be the only way to go.
