The Bio/Profile format is intended to eventually be for all members, not just new ones. The current format doesn't have all the bells and the whistles that the old one does yet, which is why it hasn't been rolled out to everyone.

The reason it has been rolled out to new users is that there are Facebook connection features in it that help new users quickly populate their Bio with things that they have already populated on Facebook, thus making it easier for new users to have profiles with content, as opposed to the many, many old Bios that have no content at all. We're hoping part of that was because it was harder to fill them in, and this new format will overcome that hurdle.
