Exactly! For a bit!
Yet this is not for a bit! This is a lifetime disqualification, and that's been my entire grip the whole time! Is nobody reading this?
"The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue."

Mhm. Okay, honestly, I maybe don't have enough data to judge how much impact that requirement has.
I also haven't seen anything on how this works with multiple authors, which could go anywhere from draconian to weakening the entire thing.
That doesn't sound like a lifetime ban to me.
