With this feature, you can predictably name and create general purpose buckets in your own account regional namespace by appending your account’s unique suffix in your requested bucket name. For example, I can create the bucket mybucket-123456789012-us-east-1-an in my account regional namespace. mybucket is the bucket name prefix that I specified, then I add my account regional suffix to the requested bucket name: -123456789012-us-east-1-an. If another account tries to create buckets using my account’s suffix, their requests will be automatically rejected.

prevents bucket squating?

nifty. but can we rename a bucket to use this new protected namespace? and "alias" the old name so references still work. creating new buckets and moving data and updating configs sounds like no fun at all...

Yeah, pretty crazy. Buckets still can't be renamed to this day.
