He could've said "You know me as Robin, but I'm calling myself Drake now". Instead he calls himself Robin and never mentions his codename change.

Just picked up the last 40 or so issues, thus completing the Robin title run, thanks to the Robin sale over on Comixology.
I'm in the middle of reading some other stuff at the moment but whenever I have a slow day at work I'm thankful for digital comics lol.
Tim got two stories in the Robin anniversary book, none by Dixon though.

As much as I sometimes complain about Beechan, I still see him as one of the better Tim Drake writers. Probably on par with Lewis (who did a better job with Tim's characterization, but brought too much weirdness into the book), and not as good as Yost or Dixon. Definitely better than Williamson, though: while I've forgiven him for what happened to Stephanie during his run due to the fact that Stephanie as Robin was his idea, it's also the case that he was the first to portray Tim as a scheming conniver — and while Tim has always been a troubleshooter and am out of the box thinker, the Tim that I prefer has never been the schemer.

"I'm not even 20 years old"... has he just been aged up to 19?

The maths never added up for that. At the time Tim debuted, he was 13. Dick was 21 at that point. But Dick was supposed to be 8 when his parents died (a fact the Young Justice cartoon kept, stating he'd been Robin since he was 9). If Dick was 8, with that age difference, Tim would've been newborn and wouldn't have remembered seeing the Flying Graysons! When Dick was shot, he was suddenly aged up from 21 to around 27 (an age that matches the 1989 age gap if Tim is now 19) - Ric said he lost almost two decades of memories. If the Graysons were killed when Dick was, say, 12, which would need to be the case for Tim to be old enough to have seen the final Flying Graysons performance, Dick would now be in his 30s! They should've had Tim start out at age 15.
