Regex related new changes in Elixir

[eksperimental]

I've been following the recent changes and I can see that there are a lot of changes that are
getting rid of the Regular expressions that are being ditched.
I read issue:
Support Erlang 20 new features
https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/5851
that mentions: No longer use regexes in Elixir as they are not portable from 19->20

Could anybody explain that this means, how this affect the Elixir project and if this affects users.
thank you.
