In this incident, the two aircraft passed with 600 feet vertical and 0.4NM (about 1 km) lateral separation in new Class E airspace, but were not in danger of collision.
Was this only because the 737 TCAS issued a Resolution Advisory commanding the 737 to climb to avoid the danger of collision?

Therefore, near collisions avoided by the pilot correctly responding to a TCAS Resolution Advisory are now not considered to present a "danger of collision"?
