I think most people agree that the reserve list doesn't make much sense today but it's probably going to stay forever.
As long as a card doesn't check all boxes, it can be printed. The new Hermit has a different ability than the older one so it's compliant with these rules.
However, I think there is also one thing to keep in mind: WoTC won't trick themsleves to break the rule as they are more concerned with the spirit of the rule itself.
They won't print improved duals (let's say they gain you life when they ETB) since that would probably make duals value go down and that's precisely what the reserve list was trying to avoid
