I really hate to be the cynic here but this is just a half arsed response to calm down all the people spam tweeting / emailing etc at blizzard to save the game
Thus far its clearly just a very small change to the system that already exists
While I hope they introduce other things like different skinned units for higher level rewards they haven't mentioned anything along those lines so I assume that if people calm down and stop nagging blizzard en masse then blizzard will likely not develop skins
Considering that this is already implemented in the next beta patch, and that they're releasing this information in a one-a-week drip feed, I would imagine this was all planned before everyone started getting pissed off.
I agree that it's really minimum effort by them, but it is an improvement on the current system at least, and has at least the framework to add in better rewards.
Edit:

They showed screenshots with levels on them a day after the drama post. For reference the arcade was shown at 2011 Blizzcon and took nearly a year to actually release, was definitely ahead of time.
