If the sensor is constructed the same as earlier types it is encapsulated and sealed with a glass pane in front of the actual sensor surface.
The LPF is a component of the UV/IR filter i.e. visible light pass filter, so I expect that would have to remain.
Also the (LPF/)visible light pass filter is a part of the light path for 'digitally corrected' lenses, as such it would have to remain.
So I think the answer to your question is that as far as the user is concerned there is no change with regard to 'sensor' cleaning.
I 'enclosed' the word sensor because you don't actually clean the sensor, you clean the LPF/vis pass filter in front of the sensor.
'so did I'
So they have merely removed the antialias effect of the UV/IR filter?
I didn't notice any info on shaker systems in the D7100 camera spec and wondered if it had been removed it (which on reflection I suppose would be a retrograde step). I guess the modified filter is likely to have the same 'bunny attraction coefficient'.
