My understanding is that the B70 Nero Comp is no longer 'legal' but the PointZero3 is still 'legal', am I wrong?
Paul, unless you're seing something I'm not there are no Blue 70 suits on this list at all. The only question now is how quickly will USMS react to this announcement? Although its doubtful that USMS would follow FINA and not allow the recognition of any records set while swimming in a banned suit they certainly could.
...My suggestion is that if you're a masters swimmer going after any world records you shouldn't be using a suit that is not approved.
By the way...good take on this whole deal here:

The list has been created by a special commission which included national team head coaches Mark Schubert of the United States and Australia's Alan Thompson. ..." more
