That's already an option on high hits so it seems they are proposing an automatic ejection for a high hit? Good luck with that.

I'll believe it when I see it.

The key here is "intentional," and will probably be enforced slightly more often than "intentional" DPI in fed games.

Since the Targeting rule was written there have been several training videos that Rogers Redding has shown hits where he suggested that the player should have been ejected for the flagrant hit. In those cases the flag was thrown, but he suggested that it should have been judged as flagrant. Now it will be automatic. If you flag it, he is ejected.
