I'm not sure how all that works out though, as the FCC still lists the
Novice
Class license, see:

You are right. I had always assumed that novices became technicians. But
actually tech plusses before 1987 became generals. I found this
http://www.arrl.org/news/restructuring/faq.html about the restructuring.

I guess this statement at the bottom of that page says it all:

Novice desiring to upgrade to Technician with HF privileges: You must pass
Element 3A before April 15, or pass Element 2 on/after April 15.
