Don't be like the children of Israel, who were told they were wicked because they had to be commanded in all things.

First, this is the CHOI, which in its forward states it is book of policies, not doctrines. How the provisions are written is unknown to us, because the Church chooses not disclose how or even why it is written.
So you can get off your high horse as if this is a revelation delivered from Moses to the Children of Israel. It is an administrative document, not scripture.
Second, unless we are bishops or stake presidents, we do not have to follow anything in regard to this change in policy. So your lecturing in heavy handed fashion, is either extreme sarcasm, to which I would say, well done, or completely tone deaf.
It is a new policy that doesn't make sense to many, many members. If you can only assign unfaithfulness to those who have problems with the policy, then you don't get it.
