This is true. For example Level 3 now longer teaches single-rope unconscious patient pick-offs. The emphasis through-out the curriculum is more of developing good SRT skills in general.

Not in level 1 or level 3. To date (earlier this year) single rope pickoffs of conscious and cooperative subjects are still taught in level 2. That may or may not change in the future. The option for teaching pickoffs still exists in the small party self rescue (aka companion assisted rescue) curriculum... depending on the lead instructor. I'm not sure if it's covered in the new TOFE class. Greg should be able to further confirm/deny/clarify this.
