Its one extra team per conference. It won't hurt anything, and will be nice for the 10-win team who's stuck on the outside looking in every year.
What will be cool, is if they ever start giving home games based on record seeding as opposed to division champs. There's no reason a 7-9 (shitty) division champ team should be hosting a 12-4 #5 seed.
