"In this case, the rear floor cover design change is integral with the G3X release because it also incorporates a mounting for the ADAHRS"
Does this mean the SV-ADAHRS is being relocated from the Tail Cone to below the floor in the Fuselage?

No. Only the Garmin ADAHRS is being located there.
No change to the baggage bulkhead. Only the baggage floor.
I've always wondered why Vans didn't provide for inspection ports behind the bulkhead similar to the ones forward of the bulkhead. I've posted here before on the ones I added after certification. They save me a lot of work at annual.
Garmin G3X announced December 1, 2014. Any further word on the baggage floor modification?Making any type of design change on the RV-12is a very involved process.
For this reason, an attempt is often made to group them together.
In this case, the rear floor cover design change is integral with the G3X release because it also incorporates a mounting for the ADAHRS.
The only structural change being released is to the aft baggage floor cover. It will allow removal of a portion of the floor without removing the tank (will require inspection of the right side aileron torque tube using a mirror).

I must have missed something - what are F00081 and F00083?Thanks for the link to modify the rear bulkhead. Called Vans today and ordered part #F00081 and part #F00083 split baggage floor covers.

Thanks. Does anyone have a sketch of this change?I spoke to Sterling in tech support and he gave me the part numbers for split floor cover at the base of the rear bulkhead cover.

Am I missing something?
Maybe.... it depends on what you are willing / able to do.
Even when we did remove the tank and bulkhead for an inspection, we never crawled into the tail cone.
because of that, now we remove all screws above the level of the fuel tank, from the bulkhead. Then because the bulkhead is corrugated, you can roll/lay it back on top of the fuel tank and get a good look inside the tail cone.
The split baggage floor allows inspecting all of the control system (though it does require use of a mirror to check the portion that is located under the fuel tank... but very doable)
Just cut inspection ports on the belly. You can get to everything you need to inspect with minimum hassle.
Thanks for this information. Does rolling the corrugated bulkhead over the tank give enough space to do a cable tension assessment?
