I believe that the hybrid penalty (not the class penalty) was removed after Velious was released but before Luclin. All this is from memory, so forgive me it is is a little off. The bottom line is, the hybrid penalty will probably come off, but that is not certain, and it won't be for quite some time as someone else has already said.
