ß (sz) has not been completely eliminated. After *short* vocals it has 
been replace with ss (Kuß => Kuss, Fluß, => Fluss). But after *long* 
vocals, it is still used (Maß, Gruß, ...).

PS: I was quite disappointed with the reform of German ortography. I'd 
have favoured much more radical steps, like elimination of 
capitalization of the noun.
