I wouldn't say it's "nullified", but down to interpretation - likely 
comes down to what's considered a "major change" per 
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#context-changedef

...which incidentally is a possible problem of subjective interpretation 
similar to what Gregg mentioned elsewhere in this thread

is still testable   (e.g. you can’t say “significant change in content” 
— since an author would never know what an evaluator would consider 
significant.
