Correct, this only refers to how an unqualified 'mqueue' rule is interpreted.

Users of jammy will now have the ability to mediate message queues in their profile if they want, but they will have to opt-in. There is more than one way to accomplish this, but they can for example add 'abi <kernel>,' to their profile when using a kernel that provides mqueue mediation. That means that older policies that were developed when mqueue mediation was not available will not be broken.
