I tried cut/pasting it here, but it comes out looking all weird. It does say "It is expected that a pilot will avail himself of Section 23 Y. 2. on a rare basis." so that line isn't new. It also says, "A pilot who has demonstrated a pattern of inability to report as scheduled will be subject to progressive disciplinary action."

The new policy is nice in that 2 hours aren't required between your primary and backup flight.

Which disciplinary trigger would you want to be subject to, "a few times during a pilot's career", or "a pattern"?
