What's new is ARM is giving that internal specification to customers.

Not just customers but everyone, judging by the fact that I could just click the links in the post and download the files.

Yes, ARM's architecture licensees (companies allowed to design their own ARM-compatible processors) have had access to the v8-A specs for years. The new bit is making it available so that researchers, companies and individuals can use it in software projects.
