I think Google still applies basic math/comparison of incoming links vs outgoing links when evaluating a directory even when it is a good one (though directories should be held to a different standard then blogs, etc.) So older "links-only directories" may have probably been punished in this PR update. But ones with good articles and site reviews should fair better even going further. Niche directories are more advantageous.
