Nothing will change for en.wiki? Hardly. If I'm reading this correctly, most of the images used under a claim of "fair use" are no longer allowed, and we'll need to figure out how to delete some 200,000 images, as well as how to educate thousands of users who are used to uploading those sorts of images.
Further, it may disallow images that are public domain because they were published in the United States prior to 1923: such images are extremely common on en.wiki because "published before 1923" is much easier to determine than "author died before 1936".
