If that's true, I think it's fantastic as far as nearly-just-symbolic gestures go, since it indicates a conscious change in direction to having less direct hostility toward MLs.

Yep, I agree! Definitely a good sign, even if it doesn't achieve much for the DSA (no way to know yet, it was a symbolic repeal after all) it does mean that the USian progressives are becoming more comfortable with MLs and accepting of our tactics.
