current deviations are safe as long as you had the medical before december 1st. anything from december 1st onwards will be told outside limits. i was told this by the head of the AME himself. he also said that the reason they have abolished deviations now is because with no renewal limits to base on how much deviation there can be, there could be someone of -12 for example trying to get a medical and that just can't be he said. so they have had to just remove it instead.
