Does the new extraordinary circumstances AOS memo affect pending EB I-485 cases?

There is a lot of concern about a new USCIS memo discussing adjustment of status only in extraordinary circumstances. For people with already pending employment-based I-485s, especially those with EAD/AP, does this change anything immediately or is it more about discretionary review going forward?

The memo may matter more where there are negative discretionary factors, status gaps, or complicated immigration history.

Some attorneys and community members think employment-based applicants should not panic yet, especially if the case has clean status history.
