No more multiple prediction in asreml-r version 3?

In asreml-r version 2, it was possible to do multiple predict statements at the same time by making 'classify' to be a list:

Code:
p2 <- predict(m2, classify=list("hyb", "hyb:enc"),
              present=list(hyb=c("hyb","enc"),
                "hyb:enc"=c("loc","enc")),
              ignore=list(hyb=c("hyb:year","hyb:year:enc"),
                "hyb:enc"=c("hyb:year","hyb:year:enc")))

The predictions were then extracted using the name from 'classify':

Code:
p2$predictions$hyb
p2$predictions$"hyb:enc"

Has this ability been deprecated for version 3? Only one predict is allowed at a time? If so, it seems like a good move. The original functionality made things harder more often than it made things easier.

The example above was a proof-of-concept for me to figure out how to do multiple predictions and not something I ever actually used in practice. The big change is that I often wrote things like
  
Code:
p2$predictions$"hyb:enc"$pvals

which now will simplify to become
  
Code:
p2$predictions$pvals

Any other major changes to watch out for?
