I don't think the commuter clause changed much, if at all. And like others mentioned, we currently have a program through which commuters can book a company-paid hotel in base the night before an early trip but that's a temporary policy that can be terminated any time.
The real change for commuters will be from LCR (no involuntary reports before 1400 on the first day), aggressive pickup, assuming there's enough opentime to make that meaningful, and PBS. PBS will hopefully at least allow people to stack work blocks together to minimize commutes or bid commutable reports.
