I can see that good points of deprecating the old RFC 2527. However, I
can't tell whether most CAs would have nothing to do. At least I know
there are CAs still using RFC 2527 format for some reasons. As members
will continue discussing substances and expectations of this requirement
for 6 months, I think a period of 6 months should be given to CAs making
changes to their CP/CPS.

[Hopefully someone could convey my comment to the forum because I'm not
a member here. Thanks.]

And if we define the exact text to be used, there may be benefits for
automated analysis.

Having all CPs and CPSes in a standard format might also have benefits for
e.g. automated extraction of CAA identifiers, cross-CA comparisons of
validation methods, and that sort of thing.
