Question to the changes on staking / voting for pool stakers

The option for pool stakers to vote should come into effect in January. (Kusama, Polkadot soon)
My question: What specific impact does this have on the ongoing staking process?
As a pool staker, the rewards are claimed manually. Will the change have an impact on this? For example, will all rewards that have not been claimed up to that point be automatically claimed at the time of the change or will there be no such impact and everything will continue as before?

Everything wrt rewards will be the same.

Only difference would be something on the implementation level: Now, to join a pool, your funds are transferred to a keyless account that the blockchain controls.

After this change, they remain in your account, they are frozen, and you can use them for OpenGov.
