It may be permanent, it may not.  See the second part of the article after the discussion of the roll back.  If enough people complain, maybe Google will not take this action.

Correct.  I simply provided the article as a way of communicating what Google's current intent is.   If you (the generic you) object then use the feedback mechanism(s) available to tell them so, or it will certainly remain as is unless Google decides it doesn't like it (which is doubtful).
