I don't see a thread discussing this (http://mtgcommander.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5200)...
It is no longer true that legendary creatures with activated abilities with mana symbols in their activation costs may not be used as EDH Generals (or Commanders). Instead, mana symbols that appear on the card in that fashion are now also included in the card's "color identity".
The way "color identity" is handled, however, remains the same as before: both cards with mana symbols not in that identity and the generation of mana of colors not in that identity are banned.
