The main benefit of these changes is that it allows an addon to embed its libraries as addons instead of loading the files as part of the main addon manifest.

I like the change to txt file processing, but I think there will only be a few libraries that want to go the full addon route. Users don't need to see "LibAsync", "LibTimeout", "LibLootSummary", "LibCustomMenu", etc. These are technical implementation libraries that will only serve to confuse users if they see them in their addons list. Perhaps if they were grouped together in a Libraries section of the addons list that is collapsed/hidden by default, it would reduce the confusion.
