Southern "Yella" wood has already changed over and is on the market.

What's up with pine turpentine?

It's made from lighter stumps - the heartwood of large pine tree
stumps logged many years ago. Today they're logging pines 6" - 12"
diameter and they're not big enough to form lighter stumps. Or those
that do are so few & far between it's not worth the effort to find &
harvest them.

Since you mention "lighter", a term I haven't heard in many years, a
question: a long time ago, a southern gentleman of my acquaintance told
me that in Alabama where he was from, they call that stuff "lighter'd"
(he said "lighter-dee" by way of explanation. Has anyone heard this
locution?
