Perhaps the CAA have now realised that they can't retrospectively apply the new regulations to ATPL theory credits gained through the old military accreditation system. If they tried to do so, then they would find dozens of pilots already flying with airlines "illegally"!
Whilst they can certainly stop issuing new credits, they must be on dodgy legal ground if they stop recognising credits issued before Apr 12.
