Hybrids to auto gain levels when penalty removed?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and could not find information. With Velious comes the removal of the hybrid exp penalty. Now my understanding based on this formula
L^3 * C * R * H
Is that a hybrid requires 1.4* the exp to level. So to pull some numbers out of my bum (excluding various race penalties etc)... say it takes 20 million exp to hit level 20 on a ranger. And say a warrior gets level 24 with the same amount of exp. Does that mean that once the changes go into effect, the ranger will log in and be level 24 as a result of the amount of exp required to level being reduced?

I was told this was how it worked on live (although the informant may be misremembering).

Thanks!

I think they offset XP from kills to make up for the 1.4 exp needed to make it more balanced. I don't think they re-calculated everyone's xp and gave them the appropriate xp gains.
