As everyone must have noticed, Symbian Signed process and site have beed upgraded. Lots of discussion have been about new signing methods like Open Signed and Express Signed, but what does this new process mean to you during development time:

It means that if you have Publisher ID, you will get more capabilities than before.

Previously with Publisher ID you could get everything execpt CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin, DRM, AllFiles, TCB.

Now with publisher ID you will get everything except DRM, AllFiles, TCB. So CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin are there available for all developers with Publisher ID.

(OK, you could have got special access to those before with special process, but that's a different story.)
