In essence, it is this: in 2016 Romney would be able to choose what delegates are seated at the convention. The states would no longer do that. If Romney doesn’t like the delegates the people of a state choose i.e. they choose to vote for someone other than Romney, then he can replace them with those that are for Romney.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound right to me as it pertains to 2016. I think you must be misreading/exaggerating those claims. Is there a link to the specific rules/proposals anywhere?

Here’s one link. There was an ititial compromise that resolved a dispute but then they tried to do an end run around that by allowing rules changes between conventions. That’s what the 2:00 vote was about. There has since been another compromise.
