I think the existing exception policy applies to all tickets (including international) and the new permanent policy is domestic only. At least that's what I gather from the post.
Perhaps the idea is that United wants flexibility to adjust its domestic schedule on a whim but thinks its international schedule will be more reliable after December; hence Unites is giving customers the appropriate reciprocal treatment in their fee structure going forward.
