What does the U.S. Embassy's notice about the income affidavit mean for my retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Ok I admit we have been using the income affidavit so as to keep our investments in the USA. With a retirement extension due Feb 14, 2019...the 45 day window (Bangkok) is Dec 31. That of course is a no-go. Anyone know or guess what this info on the Embassy website means? Relaxing of the 45 days? Or that the affidavit if procured before end of Dec will be allowed this time? We will work something out for next time but concerned about this coming one. From the USEmbassy website: read the last line. Thanks! NOTICE: Beginning January 1, 2019, U.S. Embassy Bangkok and U.S. Consulate General Chiang Mai will no longer provide the income affidavit. We will not notarize previous versions of the income affidavit. For more information, please refer to our Fact Sheet (PDF 266KB) and Frequently Asked Questions (PDF 419KB). We will continue to notarize income affidavit forms through the end of 2018. Thai Immigration Bureau officials confirmed that they will support early visa renewals for U.S. citizens during the transition period.
