Hi matey. If anything, this new rule SHOULD help you. The airport authorities (ground staff and, in London atleast, Securicor/BAA) and cabin crew will be more strictly monitoring hand luggage - it's already started to an extent at Heathrow where they are getting VERY strict on size/weight of hand luggage. If anything, you should begin to notice FEWER large bags coming in to the cabin, it just happens that the smaller bags you see will weigh more than two of the bigger ones put together
Good luck
