BVLOS is a go in certain circumstances and many other changes.

Complete at least 20 hours of ground school and successfully pass a flight review

I guess many will continue to practice BYO BVLOS in the middle of nowhere

IMO, and this is just me, I have no issues with BVLOS "in the middle of nowhere" but that's where I draw the line. Moreover, there's no laws against BVLOS for micro (sub-250g) RPA's in Canada exempt 900.06 (don't do stupid things).
For small RPA's the rules will be more flexible going forward. Sheltered Operations (BVLOS around buildings ) will be permitted and BVLOS in sparsely populated areas are also in the cards given range limits and the need for a VO.
