Except that later in the thread they admit that, yes, the old ones WILL be taken away.
It is NOT like Guild Augments, which you can still buy, or old Epic Augments, which are permanent. You won't be able to buy them anymore, and they run out, so that's it.
What he meant is that after U22 all your old ship amenities will still be here. They all will be tucked at the bottom of the ship.
Now the old system is being phased out, so it's going to be like the old Epic Augment. You won't be able to buy them anymore.

Fairly certain they meant that what you currently have on the ship will not be wiped away like it has been many times before..... even to the extent that they gave away free stuff in the store in order to reimburse players.
Yup. That's it... At least for the update.

Guess what they meant was the ones we currently have won't go away but can be used till they run out.. At least that's how I understood it.
This. They will still be there until they run out. If you have some in your inventories/banks you will be able to put them in at a later date ( in that reserved space for old amenities ).
The new amenities in the end will replace the old ones. All the amenities that are actually available are available as a new amenity ( either in a hold or as a stateroom ). So the replacement should go smoothly.
The only change of importance is the Resist Shrines that now gives a stacking percentage ( that varies with level ) instead of a fixed non stacking value ( that was fixed ).
