meh. this is exactly what was always available. The catch is, as soon as you migrate you will lose your gvoice number, since that is not included in the "all free services will be migrated".

  You can transfer your GV number to a consumer Google (@gmail.com) account. https://support.google.com/voice/answer/12083094?hl=en&ref_topic=1708124# https://support.google.com/voice/answer/12083094?hl=en&ref_t... See the section titled: “Transfer to another Google Account (ends in @gmail.com)”

Not exactly the same as normal Gmail, this option lets you keep using a custom domain at $0/month, which basic Gmail doesn't offer. To me it's 100% worth it as that was my main concern (with so many accounts bound to my domain email).
