From the article:
- HDMI 2.0 no longer exists, and devices should not claim compliance to v2.0 as it is not referenced any more
- The features of HDMI 2.0 are now a sub-set of 2.1
- All the new capabilities and features associated with HDMI 2.1 are optional (this includes FRL, the higher bandwidths, VRR, ALLM and everything else)
- If a device claims compliance to 2.1 then they need to also state which features the device supports so there is “no confusion” (hmmmm)

WTF, so any and all devices could be different, just what you want to prevent with creating a standard. What a smoking piece of crap, how can this happen?
