I think a "masked" email address might also be considered a disposable email address (alias) and 2b is for handing such addresses which are no longer wanted. I guess it's a work in progress since I see nothing else in the UI to support this.

I create disposables using a single alias. For example if bar@mm.st is the alias then foo@bar.mm.st can be a disposable alias based on the actual alias and allow FM's fuzzy folder matching to do the sorting. But to handle "removal" of such disposables requires additional code. That, I think, would be more-or-less equivalent to what that new section 2b is for FM's "masked" addresses.

Of course I could be way off base. Time will tell.

Note, I submitted a ticket asking about this to see if my theory is correct.
Congratulations xyzzy! I think you were the first person outside of Fastmail (and of course, 1Password) to notice this feature:
