I haven't seen any other DARs post on this change, so here's the scoop.
A nationwide 'upgrade' to FSDO DAR processes in underway, one FSDO at a time.
One benefit to RV operators is that instead of a separate 8130-7 "pink slip" , the 8130-7 will be printed onto the top of the Operating Limitations in black and white and signed by the DAR.
Language on the old style pink slip and old Operating Lims stated that they were both part of the same document even though they were two different colors and sizes, and that they both must be in the aircraft for legal flight. Many RV'ers lost the Operating Lims, or buyers of completed RVs never realized their importance. A common ramp check finding was that the aircraft did not have Ops Lims on board as required.
So, this new change will help prevent future troubles and is certainly easier for DARs to print.
