Hold baggage allowances - shorthaul economy just 1 piece now

I was just reminding myself of what the carry on baggage allowance was, and I came across this gem:

UK, Ireland and Regional route baggage allowance
Hold baggage
Economy (except Regional Y class Economy)
1 piece, max weight 20kg. Applicable from 24 May 2010
Have I missed something, or is this a sneaky unannounced enhancement? £10 per extra bag, it seems, no exemption for BD*S/G. Even more annoying when you have a flight shortly that's only booked on BD to avoid the BA single piece rule. Note that flexi-Y still gets unlimited pieces, this is just for the plebs behind the invisible, non-APD-liable curtain.

Any experience of this new policy so far, and how it's being enforced?
