Maybe I'm reading that wrong but it doesn't mean that app devs wouldn't need to register with Google - which is what the Android lockdown is about. Theoretically Fdroid could try to become a Google Registered Appstore but the need for devs to register with Google would still be.in place - at least this particular article doesn't say otherwise.
That's my reading as well. Google is not backing down on forcing developers to register with them regardless of Google allowing third party stores. And the magical advanced workflow to install unsigned apps, are they in the room with us?
