You're reading a little too much into it. We realised the original NTC concept was bad. Thus why we changed it.
UU were always designed to be a trade off, you get something, but you give something. We have no intention to change this concept behind the UUs.
When it was mentioned about new upgrades, this refers to ships that currently do not have a unique upgrade like some of the newer T10s.
Some upgrades as we've discovered are also Must-haves, or never used - Yamato mod, Mino Mod, anyone? By revamping my understanding is ones like these may be changed.
I'm sure closer to the time we will release more details as to what exactly will change and how.
Fem,
From the original release notes:

This is 100% the intention going forward. The design is not changing in this regard - they will benefit you in one area, but this will be at the expense of another area.
I do get it, that is why I'm here answering your questions and trying to clarify points as much as possible.
The use of "revamp" was a poor decision on our part, we should have phrased it as: "Today we're announcing a change to the means of distribution and expanding the offering of UUs"
Fem,
