The revocation program, plans for which were first reported by the AP in February, soon will be greatly expanded to cover parents who owe more than $2,500 in unpaid child support — the threshold set by a little-enforced 1996 law, the State Department said.

They did but they aren't revoking current ones last I checked. My concern is they obviously want to revoke existing ones not just when I would have to renew it. If they do that and invalidate my current passport while I'm living out of country I will be immediately requesting asylum
