By that I assume you mean the removal of FTP access to game servers (the side effect of which mean admins can no longer effectively use punkbuster screenshots to catch the hackers which punkbuster doesn't catch)
In my opinion preventing hacks working is a more important fix than stopping stats padders and stats hacking. The removal of FTP access was the most stupid decision made by EA/DICE/GameSpy as it has given plenty of hackers carte-blanche to carry on cheating with no means of being detected.
A lot is riding on this patch, BF is on its last legs and a lot of people are hoping it will breathe some life back into the community.
