Reduce the number of idiots on battle net.
What it has already not done by not being released, it seems, is reduce the number of idiots showing up at the Lounge. (Remembers Expansion Beta nightmare and shudders)
Since Blizzard has not released the patch, and the 'secret handshake' friends of the Lounge are not telling anyone any secrets on that score, your basic question is not answerable here.
But on the off chance that you are still reading, let's talk about Maphack, a client side script that Blizz' servers probably can't detect. If Blizz chose to change some of what their program does for display and item data, Maphack may be disabled for a while until mousepad can figure out a way to put it into his script.
So, if you are concerned about Maphack being 'defeated' by Blizzard, I would suggest to you that such is unlikely in the long term, although you may not be free of folks 'scanning' you for very long in public games, and you may not be able to scan folks with your copy of it on the first day that the patch is released.
Yes, just in case you are unclear on this point, I infer that you are part of the bnet lamer population from your posting style.
