The new government rules, however, won't stop Apple from continuing its practice of disabling jailbroken phones with software upgrades.
You know what that means owners of such phones might not be able to take advantage of software improvements, and they still run the risk of voiding their warranty. All the new rules do is exempt the user from legal liability.

I had the exact same reaction, but apparently there's a provision in the DMCA that requires the Librarian of Congress to make blanket fair use determinations every three years or so. I don't know details or specifics though.
