I am not aware of anything that would suggest that the exception made for Earendil, Elwing, their children, and any children of their child, who chose to be of the Firstborn, ramained anything but an exception.
The exception was made by the Valar, because Earendil & Elwing had been in the Undying Lands, and because of their descent from either Idril, who had lived in the Valinor, or Melian of the race that existed before the World. Certainly, quite special.
