Not sure. 61.47, including 61.47(c) has been in its current form since 1997. The Final Rule suggests that the provision has been around since 1966.
Did you misunderstand my post? The removal of passenger-carrying limitations only applies to the checkride. It's not a generic "student and non-rated solo pilots may now carry passengers," which would definitely be a BIG surprise.
