The first thing I did when I looked at that piece was scroll down to look for new settlement forms for spouses and partners, lol! Kind of glad not to see any listed for that visa category, and took it to mean they are still hashing out the proposed changes.

New form for settlement visa will be introduced when the changes come into effect. But the form may only become available a day or two in advance - not enough time to compare with the old and see how it will affect you. The way the new question is worded may mean you need to get new or different kind of supporting document, for instance.
