New Gmail rules enforced starting in February should reduce spam, make it easier to unsubscribe from bulk senders, and close email security loopholes exploited by cybercriminals.

This seems like non-news. If a provider sends a notable amount of spam they will be blocked.

I do hope that they are careful to avoid blocking personal mail servers that send 10 messages getting blocked if 1 is marked as spam.

This is literally about changes to senders who make 5k+ messages per day, so yeah, no need to worry.
