There's no reason for anyone but the non-tech savvy to care about this. Just like every time before it'll be a simple registry tweak to make Windows Update pull from the extended support channel.

Now there's an alternative if you want to do it officially or aren't as tech savvy. Don't see this as anything but a win, despite the way the article is framing it.
