Don't think they will get rid of it, they kinda lessend it by having to do only 2 sections before the hard stuff compared to 10 hopefully, which would make it less fatigue inducing I think, so If I have to guess for them could be considered fixed by this.
However maybe by hard floor they might simply means that floor 31 is like floor 101, thought they specifically said they wanted more 180+ floor-like content for 4 man in the future, who knows.
