The "scope" portion of the Mueller report will be telling.
If–similar to Rosenstein's scope memo–this section is still redacted, we'll learn why via the color coding.

One rationale for redaction would be to protect ongoing investigations. This would suggest there are other ongoing investigations tied to 2016 election interference which the public knew nothing about–until now.

It is possible that Rosenstein's scope for Mueller was specifically restrictive. For example, telling him what not to investigate to avoid crossover with ongoing FBI/DOJ probes tied to the 2016 election.
Redactions in the scope section of Mueller report may be revealing.

If the scope section is no redacted at all, Mueller either left out the redacted portions from Rosenstein's scope memo or the redactions are no longer necessary. In this scenario, we'd learn more if there were redactions.

Keep this Rosenstein scope memo link handy for when the report drops. Note how much is redacted. We will either learn what was redacted or why the redactions took place.

As @themarketswork noted, "Everything that remains redacted and classified in the Rosenstein memo relates to individuals and events other than [Paul] Manafort."
Jeff's deep dive into the memo is comprehensive. Makes for good reading today.

Notably, the skeptical Judge T.S. Ellis made up his mind about not dismissing Manafort's case upon seeing the unredacted Rosenstein scope memo.
Will we find out what Ellis learned from the memo via the Mueller report today?
