It's really interesting work! Just a year or so ago, the features in the energy spectrum appeared to be independent of burn-up, so it's exciting to see higher precision data coming in. No matter what, we'll get a much better model for reactor antineutrino spectra.

It's about a year old, but I like this talk from Patrick Huber (one of the developers of the new reactor models), in particular his "Score Card" for the various evidence on slide 25: https://absuploads.aps.org/presentation.cfm?pid=13003. I keep this in mind as I am updating my personal priors :).
