So THROUGH positional attack options, they're allowing people to extend Huton.

Nothing said Ninja rotations are going to demand positionals now,

By combining new weapon skills in the rotation you’ll be able to maintain the Huton effect, so you can now use ninjutsu other than Huton to output much higher DPS.

Furthermore, we have added positioning to several weapon skills. Current ninja doesn’t have much positioning and was able to attack from any direction freely, so we included positioning for some.

New weaponskills refresh Huton, current Ninja skills get positionals. Think you misunderstood. Though this post is a bit vague, it strongly insinuates that current skills will be getting positionals.

Also, if you want to melee DPS by using management and multitasking like that's been emphasized with NIN this whole time, there will be no other option for you if this is changed. Why make NIN like MNK, but with mudras to add increased difficulty and for most likely less dps?

Why not add more to NIN to make it distinctive, or at least just add more rear positionals in the new skills since it makes the most sense for Ninjas to attack from the rear in the first place?
