Facebook Profile Clutter Update

A while back I posted about syndicated content on Facebook. The discussion was largely around profile clutter and as we've known for a while Facebook is busy trying to turn the situation around. Just now, I read a post Facebook Redesign: Are Developers Ready? where this was mentioned:

Profile Boxes: Existing wide and narrow profile boxes will now appear on a new Boxes tab that every user can enable/disable on their profile. In addition, Facebook is supporting a new profile box type that can appear on the left-hand side of the user’s profile across the Feed, Wall, and Info tabs.

This sounds to me like something similar to what I had in mind, although not entirely. Basically I want a separate page for syndicated stuff that is entirely separated from the Facebook profile, so that profile pages can be focused on profile data. There could therefore be separate syndication boxes and profile boxes. However, this sounds like it will already make huge improvements.
