Instead of simply first-past-the-post bounties, they're allowing for open contract negotiation. So, you don't start work until you receive an exclusive contract.

Bounties have been really unattractive because you don't know who else is working on them, so you're often just wasting your time. And everyone half-asses the development, and cuts corners, in a rush to deliver first, which keeps the quality low.
