I didn't know these deep safes existed. So it doesn't affect me at all, since I'm a poor sucker with no valuable ships anyways. However I can see several reasons why CCP would want to do this. For the technical people among us, this should be quite obvious... So I won't detail those reasons. In the end of the day, it seems a good patch. Those who don't understand the bigger picture are whining about the loss of their super-capitals (if not moved in time), as we have seen earlier in this thread.
If I got that right, then this is the case: Say a system is 100 AU in diameter, right? Like last planet to sun is 50 AU, and obviously to get to the other end of the orbit line is 50 AU. In total that means you have 120 AU space effectively available. Why 120?
| o -------- SUN -------- # |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - 120 AU
| = Limit for deepest bookmark
o = Farthest planet
# = Other end of orbit line
I could be wrong but this is the way I see it.
The question remains whether this is only horizontally applicable (line of celestial arrangement) or spherical (which would make more sense).
If I'm wrong correct me please.

Making the sandbox even smaller, no deep space anymore??!!
Whos idea is this, Nozh again?
Its bad advertising for the game itself, imagine what will learn about space in EvE some newbie pilot in his first flying hours:
"So dude this is called stargate, behing the stargate there is an invisible wall."
"Lolwut??!!!!"
"Yeah, you heard me, its invisible wall dude, welcome to Age of Conan reloaded"
I don't think that's entirely accurate. Space will expand behind the 10 AU barrier. It's just that you can't warp to it or scan things behind it. That's a subtle difference.

Thats exactly how it was in AoC, you see things, you just cant go there because there is an invisible wall that stops you.
One of the main 3 or 4 things people were pointing for the reason they don't like the game was this - invisible walls everywhere.
Funcom tried to improved it a little but they were limited by their engine and bad design decisions they made early during the development.
Now EvE is a game that don't have these problems and they want to implement them willingly??!! 
Leave everything as it is just remove the mechanic for making deep safes or introduce a legal way for creating them.
This invissible wall will hurt your game more then you can imagine.
I don't think there will be a wall as such - you can go beyond the limit. Just bookmarking and warping won't work. That is still a difference.
