I'm wondering if this will also apply to those with special circumstances that, as of now, don't have to take the test (humanitarian leave, discretionary leave, bereaved partners, domestic violence victims, etc). I wouldn't be surprised, actually.
As of now, I believe if your English is below a certain level, you can take certain English/citizenship classes in lieu of LITUK. If we're talking in-country settlement, I presume this won't be an option anymore.
