Not everything gets mentioned in patch notes, especially something like this.
However, yes, you would expect to hear some comments from people saying they were bound inside and now you cannot. However there is none of that going on.
I do agree it is more advantageous on P99 to be bound inside rather than classic. Let's not forget though that in classic Sontalak was often left up, and is binding somewhere a dragon can death loop you really more favorable than binding just inside where you need a porter to let you out if KoS. Also remember NToV had 2 large safe areas near Twins/Triplets, where one could AFK for hours. You'd think some casters like clerics or mages or porters would be binding there during raids to help raids along? Again, no comments about this happening.
The problem with a mechanic like this is it is difficult to find slam dunk evidence. It's not like an item upgrade where you can simply check allakhazam history. The majority of the evidence posted either says you cannot in a blanket sort of way or hints at the inability to bind in a more subtle way (like why everyone was binding outside).
If the tables were flipped though, and there was no clear evidence posted regarding the bind ability of the firepots in early Kunark, I don't think people would be so keen to rely on people's memories about "I swore I bound here back 14 years ago". Something like that would require evidence to put into the timeline.
Likewise Kunark binding was retroactively fixed when evidence was brought forth, none of it of the slam dunk quality. Mostly the same evidence brought forth here.
