I'm so glad they did away with the Axis nonsense, also. I always thought the Axis thing was more than a bit unnecessary. Didn't seem to serve any real purpose.

The proposed changes to diagnosing PD's actually impressed me which is really rather hard to do as I normally hold mental health professionals in a lot of contempt, ha ha ha. I've read the new criteria for NPD that they proposed in the DSM 5 and I like it far more, ditto with the other PD's they used in the proposed changes.
