They streamed a live announcement earlier discussing it.

For the average user you don't give a damn except it means you're going to actually continue to have IP addresses available for the forseeable future.

I understand I won't have to worry about jack-crap, but the first part of your post kinda gives me some sorta vague idea about the whole thing, so thank you for that.
