Aug 22, 2012 at 14:42	comment	added	user9072		Perhaps I should also add this piece of information, which I forgot and I do not want to edit agaon right away: this prize is not awarded each year, but only all three years and for work in the preceeding 6 years, so in some sense 2009 was the first possibly occassion to give them this prize (as it is for published papers). So that it was given in 2009 rather than a year before, say, is merely a technicality of the prize and not evidence that in 2009 something on the perception of the proof changed.

Aug 22, 2012 at 13:54	comment	added	user9072		I'd say there is no highly specific meaning to it except being additional evidence that there is confidence in the correctness of the proof (possibly up to minor issues, as essentially always). I will edit my answer to include more info on this.
