Apparently, the decided that : selling them on the same mounting wasn't such a great idea. I didn't see the article you were referring to, is this going to happen to all P6s or are they referring to a low cost version of the P6 that will have an external L2. I would suspect the latter, onboard L2 has a significant performance advantage. Basically, your "wasn't such a great idea" argument may be true when looking solely at price, but it is false when looking solely at performance.
