Ryanair and "Priority Boarding"

Has anyone noticed what Ryanair sneaked in to a news item on their website underneath their Stockholm and Warsaw route launches?:

"Passengers travelling with checked in luggage will (from 1st November) be able to enjoy priority boarding at departure gates for £2/€3 per flight. These passengers will then be entitled to board the aircraft first and choose their seats. This will be particularly advantageous for families and groups who wish to travel together."

"From 1st November, families with children will no longer be pre-boarded however they will have the option of online check-in and priority boarding if travelling without checked in luggage or priority boarding purchased at the airport if travelling with checked in bags."

Obviously we all know FR are mean, etc etc etc and we could go on about them all day but they are becoming very family-unfriendly. So if they don't want families, people with luggage, disabled people, business people who want changeable tickets, people who have UK drivers licences but were born outside the EU, who do they want?! Sounding a little like an airline version of National Socialism starting in Dublin.........
