I believe, their objective is to make it more clear to everyone in terms of status of their respective component. Since most of us are used to the old status, a lot of confusions/questions arose with the change. After few days, once again we might be more comfortable with the new status. As long as we are receiving PPR mail from CIC, these status won't impact anything. Most of us including myself are so excited and eagerly waiting for golden mail (PPR), these questions/clarifications can be understood.
Cheers
