I know that this has been discussed before but I need some fresh input.
In Table 4.5 Item #3, for GTAW,  the code states that a change from one electrode or flux-electrode classification to any other electrode or flux-electrode classification requires a new wps to be qualified. 
According to AWS 5.18, ER70S-2, and ER70S-6 are different electrode classifications.
So I interpret this to mean, if I have a WPS for using ER70S-2 and the only variable that I want to change is to use ER70S-6, a new WPS must be qualified for the ER70S-6.

What are your thoughts on this?

It could be a mistake. Lord knows there are a bunch of errors in the 2010 edition. Look on the AWS website for technical errata and there are two pages of errata listed.

Send an inquiry to the Technical Secretary so the committee can check it.
