This kind of makes me wonder what Blizzard was really thinking with creating this policy, seeing how it has upset many authors to the point of stopping support for their addons, which I think they could've seen coming.
Blizzard's official stance has always been that they approve of UI mods, and that as long as something's possible to do with the addon API, it's ok. In the past they've been content to just remove functionality for things they didn't like (e.g. the old versions of Decursive, AutoTravel and others), but this new policy (and the looming functionality for addon-banning) seems almost like a shift to an "everyone should just use the default UI" ideology.
