Disappointing for collectors who want to reconstitute vintage sets with accurate period correct parts. Putting the parts in a WishList will now yield a tedious task of sorting through parts with the proper text remark to find the correct variant. This also generally waters down the distinction between period correct parts and modern replacements within the broader Lego community. Meaning buying a vintage set on Bricklink is more likely to come "contaminated" with modern parts ruining the value and collectability.
