Yes, but why worry, because adding another new subclass to USB isn't making the situation significantly worse than it already is. Stack Overflow is already full of USB questions. Because there is already so much confusion about USB 1, 2, 3, 3.1, low speed, full speed, high speed, super speed, super speed+, USB A, micro-B, micro-AB, mini-A, mini-AB, mini-B, USB PD (rev 1 & 2), OTG, MHL, Samsung's 11-pin micro, and even non-USB lightning.... Can it get worse?

All of those however top out at 5V 2.5A. With this new power spec, that is actually independent of the C plug spec, but unveiled at the same time, can go anywhere from 5V to 20V depending on negotiations between devices. On top of that the C plug and the data speeds are also interchangeable. So you can get a C plug and 2 speed, or you can get an A plug and 3.1 speed.
