It would be the height of irony if, in fact, the FCC dropped
Element 1 yet kept non-code-tested Techs off of HF until
they got Generals or Extras.

But isn't that exactly what is proposed. Once it becomes the
new regulations (i.e. no code test anymore at all) there really
is no way for a code-less Tech to then become a Tech
with coode since there won't be anymore code tests being
administered.

OTOH this being the govt it could be the result I hope the FCC will
make it clear in the report and order

In the discussion in the NPRM, they make it clear that they expect any Tech
not having HF privileges (i.e. codeless Techs) to take the General exam and
upgrade to get HF privileges.
