If you had already made PE proposals that had been of quality approval and whose candidates had gotten approved (be it for removal or addition), I'm pretty sure you would still be allowed to keep making PE blogposts even with the new rules. If you had already proven yourself good at doing these things before, I'm pretty sure you would fall into the grandfather clause, kind of like how if you were already smoking while 18 before they raised the age limit, you would still be allowed to smoke without having to quit and wait until you reached the new legal age. If something was previously allowed and you did it before it was outlawed, you are allowed to keep doing it afterward.

This is just my belief, admittedly. I could be wrong. I did see someone who was not in the approved list continuing to do a blogpost earlier today. It's one of the ones in the current PE proposals. Though that could just be because those proposals were already in progress before this happened and they might not be able to do so afterward.
