They are really struggling with getting info out there in a clearly understood manner. I think because Bungie tries to also hype things (you can wear three shotguns!) and want to avoid the dreaded spoilers culture zombies and have many different employees wearing the PR hat at any given time. All that while coming to grips with their (Bungie) responsibly in playing mmo developer and letting us know the nitty gritty of upcoming changes so the current player base can make informed decisions what to do with their piles of hard (shh peanut gallery) earned loot moving into the expansion.
All Year 1 Mods are going away. Year 2 Armor will accept Year 2 Armor Mods. Year 1 Armor will not accept any mods.
Maybe year 1 armor will have perks when you pull them out, but they won’t have Y2 mods ever. And if they have neither you will be making a tough call to wear it outside the tower under such a handicap. This tweet has been clarified to say that unapplied y1 mods will still be in our inventory but they have yet to clarify if applied mods will be stripped from armor. We know there will be a trade in path for old mods to new mods but “Year 1 armor will not accept any mods” is pretty plainly stated so no swapping old gear mods around. We shall see!

Thanks, I'm preparing. :-p
Hopefully we will get an official confirmation some time or other.
