So.. if they were going to be changing anything... they would probably want to provide advance notice to many people who might otherwise be banned as collateral damage. (There's a lot more people with more than one WoW account than there are dual-boxing.com members, after all...) They have absolutely no interest in immediately doing a 180 and banning all multiboxers; it would not improve their game, their public image, their money, nothing. Multiboxers wouldn't just go away, so they would have to have continuous enforcement, meaning they have to pay someone or multiple someones, just to figure out which people with multiple accounts they need to ban.
I don't see them ever banning multiboxing. And I do think there is a distinction between:
- pve multiboxing
- pvp multiboxing
- people with a 2nd account open for e.g. AH related stuff

The only way multiboxing affects other peoples gameplay is in pvp. If they ever were to change their stance towards multiboxers in pvp I can see them rather do things like disable /follow in random battlegrounds than banning it altogether.
