I believe the idea is just that it's being rolled out gradually so that bugs can be spotted and fixed before they cause too much havoc. First opt-in for admins, then opt-in for all users, and finally (we haven't gotten here yet) automatic for all users, or at least all users without conflicts. I completely made up the figure of a couple of months, but I'd be a little surprised if it weren't in effect by then.
Alright, as long as we are at least preventing new accounts with names which would create more conflicts (over the next "couple of months") I can be patient.
