What it means
Ethereum users and developers are the group most directly affected tomorrow morning, because the idea on the table is an Ethereum built around STARKs, privacy, and Lean consensus. That would matter as a direction for how the network is described and what features are being emphasized in public.
In practice, the main change is in the stated direction for Ethereum: one piece presents it as a plan for a cryptographic world computer, while the other places it after Hegotá. What stays the same is that the material does not say any network change has already happened. (per cryptobriefing.com)

Every piece in order, with the time its news medium declares — if it is not believable we use ours and say so — and what it added to what was already known at that point. Arriving first is not the same as adding something.
