This info has always been out there. It's just that 99.999% of people don't care, have no idea what it means or why they should care, and it's a difficult subject on top of it all.
I was lucky to meet some people who ran a study group on this topic about 7 or so years ago and dove in to try to and straighten out my paperwork. I did a state national passport and they accepted my explanatory statement. I also beat a fraudulent attempted DUI charge by refusing to waive my rights. They tried to intimidate me for months but I didn't give in, went pro se, and in the end they dismissed the case.
