Well, some of the details are coming out.
Seems what Kurds and US are doing is OK.

"Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem on Monday said there had been an apparent change of attitude towards Syria by the US administration following the Russian plan for “de-escalation” zones."
No, it's an affirmation of the realities on the ground because of Obama's fecklessness in leading on the Syrian issue and allowing Russia to step into the void and change the calculus of the situation.

Nobody should make the mistake of trusting Assad or any of his family.

“...Moualem said that what Syrian Kurds were doing against the jihadist group was “legitimate” at this stage and fell within the framework of preserving Syrian unity, Reuters reported.”
Emphasis: “at this stage”
The Kurds were given autonomy by Assad only so long as they didn’t actively participate in the civil war (fight Assad).
There is an old Kurdish proverb: “No friends but the mountains”.
