Yes, his role on III was downgraded on some release, apparently. The liner notes on the more recent Legacy edition aren't a problem, though. (fabulous package, btw, tremendous detail on the recording of the entire album) He is still friends with everyone in the group, including Carlos. The two of them talk pretty fondly of one another in interviews. Schon's solo album released earlier this year even had a tribute song to Carlos on it, Song of the Wind II, a sequel of sorts to their duel on Caravanserai. Carlos, Gregg, and Neal have all been dropping hints in the last year or two about wanting to play together again. They have in the past, too, I didn't think anything would come of it.
