Does it mean Paypal is getting more serious to integrate bitcoin into its payment system. If so, it is good.

Perhaps, but this is nothing sure. CEO of Xapo wallet in board of Paypal is certainly thought provoking fact. I hope that means that Bitcoin adoption by Paypal are incoming, but it could be either song of the future.
Or it means they are thinking of integrating blockchain technology to use it in Paypal.
