Vyal's last link is about the DoT kiting damage nerf. It's not relevant to pbae target limits.
His link about the bard kiting story is legit though. The bard says all his targets were below half so that sounds like it was hitting all six targets at once.
So as late as May we have Kendrick and one other bard saying that bard pbae was limited, like "almost all" AoE, to four targets. We have a restatement of that in June to no objections.
Then in September just before the AoE patch we have a bard kiting six mobs at once in what seemed like a novel tactic.
That would place the removal of pbae target limits sometime between June and September.
I think what might have happened is that the limit was removed before the official patch message was released, probably with a server side patch in scheduled downtime. Verant did that sometimes.
The pbae limits are still firmly evidenced for launch and the first few months of Green though, unless you can find earlier stories, Vyal.
