Default New Wording for Passenger Warning

Just a "heads-up", as of September 21st, 2017, new ruling on the Passenger Warning;

Except for single place aircraft, the following placard must be displayed in the aircraft in full view of all occupants: “PASSENGER WARNING—THIS AIRCRAFT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR STANDARD AIRCRAFT.”

Note that Experimental, Light-Sport, or Amateur-Built is no longer required wording. This makes for a more "standardized" placard.

I hope this is an April Fools joke a few months early.

Nope, it's in the new FAA Order 8130.2J.

Is this only for newly certificated E-AB's, or is it retroactive? If retroactive, are new ops lims required?

It is NOT retroactive. Everything you have now is still good.

Why? All they did was drop the " IS AMATEUR-BUILT" from the current placard. I do hate it though as to me it implies that my aircraft is some how sub-standard.

So is my passenger warning on the panel of my yet to be inspected airplane going to cause an issue with the inspector? I used the old wording.

Default Not necessarily so.

Better wording would be:
"This aircraft is not required to conform to...."

I don't remember seeing a notice and comment opportunity on this, if it was deemed a regulatory change.

The "Why" is to somewhat standardize the placard so that a different placard is not required for different category of aircraft. i.e. the same placard works for experimental amateur-built and experimental light-sport aircraft.
