I find this new text far better than what had been defined recently.

For the last few years the rule was written:
Baggage regulations - the piece system applies to passengers travelling on a oneworld Explorer fare.
Now it is:
Baggage regulations

Two free pieces of 23 kilos each shall be permitted. Additional allowances may apply. Refer to individual carrier websites.
As posted, any allowance above that 2 x 23Kg would be generally segment based and a function of your travel class, your status (with the operating carrier) and any other factor as denoted by the operating carrier.

Oh, and by the way - it still is designating a "Piece System".

If I take two 25kg bags on my QF flight then there never was a risk. Now there is a risk as it says 23kg in the wording with a footnote style explantion which you might have to discuss with a check-in agent.

The luggage allowance is still the same as it was before, the wording now just opens one more avenue for a discussion.

Any weight per bag restriction has always been segment based so this has not changed.

It certainly has not changed.

In fact nothing really has changed, except for the 23Kg being indicated. (And possibly the mention of 2 PCS, although this was generally the default in any case)
