You should read the document. Actually, it's just the opposite. The proposal is to extend from 6 months to 1 year the valid period for First-Class Medical certificates for INDIVIDUALS UNDER AGE 40 ONLY.
Apparently the FAA sees an issue with increased age.

My rather old, semi-retired FAA doc is on the FAA advisory committee. When I started going to him years ago, he said, "We've been telling the FAA for years that you young guys don't need physicals twice a year."
It sounds like they finally convinced them.
