As far as I can tell, the only difference with sites registered after the April deadline is that they don't get a protected zone - but they do still get to operate under the old rules until 2020, they just won't get any protection from other radios operating under the new rules.
There will be no PAL's in the current 50mhz, it will be GAA only. Basically, anything you put up now should be good for the next five years, but after that point it's either going to need to be updated to work with the SAS thingy, or be replaced with something else. It's pretty safe to assume that decent radios like PMP/PTP450 and airfiber3x will get updated to work under the new rules, but I wouldn't expect things like airmax M365 radios to be (legally) usable after 2020.
