I don't know how it will be received and not necessarily confident it will be passed. IMO, it is a sensible change and easily falls into line with ASA's philosophy of safety and fair play.

We will see.
I think the change could be a good one, BUT...

How will they line up the rule with the definition of interference and making a play?
