It means that if you try to do INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on a view that
doesn't have a rule to translate that action to something else, the
system will complain (rather than applying the action to the hidden
table underlying the view, as it used to do with confusing results).

Yes. As long as you have appropriate rules, this change won't affect
you at all.
