Question regarding the change to supports and treasures

*Updated to Final Release Notes. Added the following change:

• Support destruction will only target treasures if there are no more valid targets.
  

First, this is an excellent change. With it comes a question though.

With this change, will support destruction treat other token supports, such as Servos, the same way? Will they be ignored so long as there are other valid supports to be removed?

Additionally, what would count as a token support? Are planeswalker supports tokens?

Being that the update specifies treasures, not token supports I don't think that PW supports are of concern. And outside of Tezz 2 and the occasional legacy event servos and clues are irrelevant. I really don't see it as an issue. Hell I didn't even think the treasure thing was anything more than an annoyance/inconvenience. Not sure why they changed it.

I guess this will works towards balance out storm the vault while also increasing the power of support destruction.
Support strategies are kind of dominant right now so this is a welcomed change from a short view perspective. 
But long term all these exceptions do nothing but up the complexity level of the game. Tomorrow if a new type of problematic token support appears you end up blacklisting it when the time comes? And if you have multiple such categories what will be the priority between them?
