Are there any exclusions for driving classic cars in France?

I am familiar with the Crit' Air LEZ requirements which are becoming an increasing problem for owners like me who enjoy touring in various classic cars, i.e. cars built pre 1996 (in some cases very much older). Are you aware of any exclusions becoming likely for cars such as mine? I am told that the question has been raised but no decision made.

At present there is no change to the rules regarding Crit'Air requirements for older vehicles, which means a Crit'Air 3 sticker for petrol cars that can meet Euro 2 or 3 emission standards, but vehicles registered before January 1997 are not allowed to enter the zones where restrictions apply.
