Then doc the UM (sphere with 6 docking ports) to the bottom of MLM. Then add two more nodes.

Once that is done, they can detach from the ISS and have a full standalone station of their own. They potentially can take Zvezda with them depending on if the ISS is being deorbited or not.

So not really anything new here. Just a possible chaneg in timeline.
