It's short, so it's probably more helpful to just go there and read it, as well as the discussions in the comments, but major things that probably need pointing out are
* An option to turn off Infinite Scroll will be added before the beta period is over.
* Some customization options -- "at least text size and background images" -- will be added before the beta period is over.
* The mentions people have seen via Russian-language news of Paid Accounts going away refer to an eventual change in the pricing structure that will make all of the current Paid features available as separate a la carte options:
"This will involve changing things so users have a standard LiveJournal account to which they then can add the paid/extra features that they want separately (or feature packages/sets). The concept of buying something that's called a "paid account" is what will be removed -- extra features will be done as add-ons and add-on packages. Existing paid or permanent accounts at that time will be treated as premium/elite accounts that will have access to even more features than exist right now. "
So that particular thing might end up being an improvement, depending on the pricing structure -- you'd end up only paying for the options you want.
Also, Happy Halloweeeeeeen. Boo.
