The change is regarding "permanent" installations, which the article also infers to mean directly hardwired. Those of us who go the route of a NEMA 14-50 outlet are likely unaffected.
That said, I wish they'd ban the cheap, shitty outlets that can't actually provide continuous power. These are the very popular $10 outlets, vs the $50 ones that also can't fit in a standard box.
