I don't understand how this isn't simply ratifying/renaming current TB3-on-Type-C-connectors and this cryptic sentence in the page doesn't help. Anybody know?

This isn't to say that such a renaming might not be a good idea! But it would be nice to know if my current Type C ports with TB and DB support were in fact already "USB 4.0."

Also: speaking of nomenclature: notice that according to the press kit slide show, USB 3.1 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, and USB4 all have the same "Alternative Branding": "Super Speed+". Madness!
