Well, and beyond that we don't really know what they mean by "model" either. It could be a whole new rating. It could be a new way of extrapolating them - I do feel like basing it off of "ability" which covers things like passed ball rate isn't really great, so maybe the new formula incorporates, for example, leadership rating (since a chunk of what goes into "pitcher framing" is also mound psychology, and I at least like the idea of catcher personality having an effect on pitchers wanting or not wanting to work with them). But, well, the game isn't out yet so who knows?
