Champion very quietly changed the internal design of their plugs to the same design that Tempest uses. They don't even call it a change, they simply changed the description of the plug construction, without any reference to the previous design:

After all the defense of their spring-loaded unstable resistor, they now have a “Fired-in suppressor seal resistor prevents wear from voltage drain for prolonged plug life”

They also took their response letter (to the TATI SB calling for removal of fine wire plugs from turbo engines) off the main page and buried it in the back.

I guess they finally decided to make some changes after keeping their collective heads in the sand since 2011.
