  The version of OS X on the new MacBook Pros (late 2016)
  will not work with existing Certified Thunderbolt 3 docks
  and adapters (released prior to November 2016).

This is ridiculous.

Seriously. I would be interested in learning what, exactly, the problem is. Is there a genuine, reasonable shortcoming in the older chips that would be too difficult to work around? What's the point of something being "Certified" if you can't trust it to work in the future in situations where it absolutely should work?
