"Today's announcement is poking a big hole in the walls of that garden."

Maybe, we'll see. Most people don't use court decisions for much. We lawyers use them all the time, but to use them, we have to reference the official cite of the case, which is a book and page number of a Thompson-West publication. Getting free access to the case law would not be all that helpful without the cites and I'm sure West isn't going to be giving those away.
