How is this a change? The text of this rule and penalty hasn't changed in 30 or 40 years. Is this simply an editorial revision to add this rule to SP where stealing is allowed?

The present rule is for FP Only. Once the gurus finish with it, the rule will probably read: "When a pitched ball lodges in or goes under, over or through the backstop".
And yes, it was changed to accommodate SP's stealing.
