It does but it also says that this clarification relates to that particular expansion. Naturally, people are free to pick and choose

I believe you're referencing this:
"There are a few gameplay differences in the Barbarian Quest Pack."
The gameplay differences are differences from what was already present in the Main Game System. While the differences relate to the BQP, they aren't limited to it. Many differences are shared in common with the EQP, such as the
Passing Items and the
Spiral Stairway entries also found in the
Rules Clarifications section. The
Female Barbarian section refers to its use in Quest Packs, which implies it was meant for general future releases.
Though retconning rules using the expansions is neither advised nor discouraged by the BQP, picking and choosing is a good way to approach the expansion gameplay differences. I feel the
Multiple Attacks entry applies well when judging the limits of Heroic Brew, and I like many others rules to apply from Quest 1. I wouldn't include the Treasure Cards before the Frozen Horror was played, however. Others have expressed problems with the Mind Points rules. So yeah, only apply expansion rules if you like 'em.
