I think these reforms will surely be implemented by 2017. It does not matter if FPSC does not notify these reforms prior to 2016 exams since the reforms concerned are for CE 2017. If someone remembers the change in syllabus and pattern for CE 2016 was announced back in last days of April 2015. Similarly, these reforms too will unravel post 2016 exams. Ahsan Iqbal has announced on media that his ministry have finalized the agenda for subsequent reforms in CSS starting from 2017 onward and i do not think government is going to with draw from a such statement. Change in syllabus and pattern for CSS did not occur since 1981 but we are witnessing that change in CE 2016, it means this issue of age relaxation and 16 year education is not far from realization.
