Before the Storm -- PvP Update

Posted just this afternoon by Drysc:
    The next World of Warcraft content update, “Before the Storm,” will include the new PvP Honor System, as well as other new features that will prepare us for The Burning Crusade expansion. We are currently planning to release this content update next Tuesday, December 5. Please note that the patch date is still subject to change, and we will keep you informed of any changes to the plan as they happen.

    If the patch goes live as planned, this will be the last week that new PvP ranks under the old Honor System can be earned, as the patch will immediately introduce the new Honor System. We will run one final honor calculation on December 5 and update everyone’s ranking accordingly on that date so that players who achieve a new rank for that week have the opportunity to display that title on their character. Please note, however, that no new PvP rewards will be unlocked for purchase with this final “old Honor System” calculation, regardless of any increase in rank.

    For those who have been seeking high-rank PvP armor and weapons, note that the new Honor System will still include these item rewards, and it will actually be easier to earn these items under the new Honor System than under the old Honor System. Those who wish to see how their PvP abilities measure up against other players will still be able to do so under the new Arena System.
All I have to say is WOOHOO!!! (bolding added for emphasis)

Does this mean that we will get all of the other crap that comes with Burning Crusade as well, meaning all the nerfs and stuff, or is it just an update for the PvP??
Full patch?

I just don't understand what some have against ranks/titles. Sure playing to get gear is nice, but to me not having ranks takes a lot of the fun or incentive out of it. Not that I'm running around "showing off" as a field marshal either, SGT. is as high as I've ever gotten, but I think it just gives you goals and shows how much time or effort one puts in to bg's/pvping.
