YOU STILL NEED TO CONFIRM TRANSFERS 
The only thing is now you only have to do it once to the place the domain is going to be transferred to instead of twice like you were supposed to have to do previously.
This is just so the registrars who would make it virtually impossible to release your domains cannot do that anymore.
If I try to initiate a transfer for any domain tomorrow the registered owner will receive and email from MY REGISTRAR asking to confirm the transfer, if he or she does not confirm it then I will not get the domain transferred. It used to take an email from both my registrar and the other parties registrar but alot of the time the registrar that is loosing the domain will not send out the confirmation email so they get to keep the domain for future renewals...this stops that from happening.
it would be better to make sure all of your emails on your registered owner and administrative contacts are valid and belong to you still rather then locking your domains.
Just thought I would shed some light on this even though it has been said before here.

Not wishing to argue with your statement however do you have any links to pages from Icann or reputable registrars that provide those details?
This is what I read from Icann:
"The FOA should be sent by the Registrar of Record to the Transfer Contact as soon as operationally possible, but must be sent not later than twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the transfer request from the Registry Operator.
Failure by the Registrar of Record to respond within five (5) calendar days to a notification from the Registry regarding a transfer request will result in a default "approval" of the transfer."
http://www.icann.org/transfers/policy-12jul04.htm
and I received this today from my registrar directnic:
Beginning November 12, 2004, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) will institute a new transfer policy for all accredited
domain name service providers. directNIC is actually implementing the new
policy today, Thursday November 11, 2004.
The previous ICANN policy allowed directNIC to deny transfer requests to
another registrar unless the administrative contact directly confirmed the
transfer. Starting today, when we receive a request to transfer your domain
name to a new registrar, we will still attempt to contact you to confirm
that you authorized the request. However, if for ANY reason you do not
DECLINE the transfer within 5 days, your domain name WILL BE
transferred away if it is on Normal Transfer Security.
For this reason, we recommend that our customers place their domains on High
Transfer Security to prevent unwanted transfers. This may be done through
the Customer Settings section of your account by clicking on the "Set
Transfer Security" link. If your account is on Normal Security, click on
the "Change to: High Security" button. Or by going to the URL below:

If you have any concerns as to how this new policy affects your domains,
please direct them to
[email protected].
Sincerely,
directNIC Support
