This sentence summarizes it very well: This change eliminates an
unnecessary regulatory burden that may discourage current amateur
radio operators from advancing their skills and participating more
fully in the benefits of amateur radio.

It's about 30 years too late, but a start in the right direction.
Next we have to eliminate the current test and replace it with
something that actually tests for skills that are important. A test
that combines knowlege of theory with the skills to safely setup and
courteously operate a station. Once potential ham passes that single
test he is granted full operating privileges on all amateur bands.
Currently licensed hams would be grandfathered in with full operating
privileges.

No way. What is the point of raising the bar if you let a bunch of
non-compliant people on the bands.

Non-compliant with what exactly.
