An acquaintance of mine who works for the feds as a very small cog in our central govt controlled economy, told me that its a strange novelty as an isolated topic, but the real story is how it interacts with other policies. It mostly affects people who violate the rules which theoretically separate work email from personal email (which is enforced to WIDELY varying levels based on dept, locale, and individual supervisor) and people who use work email as a backup authentication aka if you get locked out of google/facebook/whatever and have your work .gov/.mil email address as a backup authentication method, well, you don't have a backup authentication method right now.
