ULSD Fuel - What does this mean?

Copied this off the Cummins Turbo Diesel Newsletter. No further information in the article. What are the implications of the underlined words?

"A new CI-4 engine oil is being introduced, with a new formulation designed specifically to work with ULSD fuel. If you run with a pre-2007 engine oil (such as CH-4) and ULSD fuel, you will have to modify your oil change schedule."

I got that e-mail too. I was thinking it probably means you might have to change your CH-4 oil sooner with the ULSD than you do now. Thats how I took it???? anyone else?

My understanding is the the new CH-4 oil is designed to hold more soot and the change interval is extended.
