Andrew, I don't think it's anything so cataclysmic. I'm not sure what the "very concern" was, of course. If it was any application beyond the new TLDs then maybe your concern is realized. But I think this is still a focused "commitment." Whatever ICANN has to do in this regard would still be bounded by its mission, even if it is not limited to new gTLDs.

Several of us (including, I'm afraid, anybody I know who actually has to operate servers) _always_ thought it was a terribly unfortunate term, that it was careless language, and that it was going to come back and hurt. But people were willing to live with it because they thought it was limited to the new TLDs; and, since those new TLDs couldn't be used in any other part of the Internet before delegation, it was not so risky.
The very concern that many of us had is now being proposed to be activated now. This is the same kind of problem that the IAB was worried about earlier in the over-broad mission language.
Best regards,
