Not if I underdstand this change correctly. They appear to be trying to come up with a formula for separating the planets created at the time of the solar system's formation from those objects that were "caught" from elsewhere, or spun out of a planet's orbit. So if life was discovered on a mini-planet, or a rock, or in the United States Congress, it would still count as life, however unusual that occurence might be.
