This is not a new ruling at all and has been handed out on several occasions in the past.

Basically if the stewards deem the incident to have been the fault of one driver alone and wholly avoidable they will issue him (or her) with a 10 place grid penalty for the next race.

I see no controversy with this decision at all, most racing incidents do not get penalised, thankfully, and this rule is used to punish stupidity and recklessness.
