My apologies if this is already buried somewhere in the citizenship threads with 1,000 plus posts. I just noticed that CIT 002 has finally been updated to clarify question #9 (c). It now reads:

During your five year eligibility period, did you live outside of Canada as a crown servant or with your spouse or common-law partner or parent who was a crown servant? Find out who is a crown servant and the specific situations that apply in the help text or instruction guide.

This sure beats the the ambiguous wording which has been on the form since Oct 2017, and eliminates the need to even look at CIT 0177 if it does not apply (which it doesn't, in the vast majority of cases).

Yes, in addition to MULTIPLE changes in the new form CIT 0002 (01-2019) being addressed in topics particular to the relevant issue (including changes to Item 10.b which clarify and narrow the scope of who must submit a police certificate), there is already a topic about the changes in general, discussing the multiple ways in which the form has changed.

I will link the topic even though actually it is NOT buried, but is still on the first page of listed topics for Citizenship, and its title, New Form CIT 0002(01-2019), clearly identifies the subject, that is the new January 2019 application form:
