I agree with Aris. As I read it, it has two provisions: (1) it changes the 
gamestate to what it would have been if the amendment had been in effect and 
then (2) it amends the rule. 

So I think it works and does amend the rule.

I just want to make sure it works as intended since this is an important
amendment. It's possible it does amend the rule but that just wasn't clear
to me.

I was thinking of the proposal as two changes: first, the gamestate
changes, and then, the rule is amended. After the second change, the
ruleset would contain the amended rule.

But I'm not sure proposals are interpreted as a sequence of actions
like that. If it's treated as a bunch of assertions with no particular
order, I'll have to read it more carefully.

It also says that the gamestate, excluding the ruleset, is modified to what
it would have been if the amendment took place. Does this override the
amendment itself?

It does say "Rule 2124 is amended...". Why wouldn't that happen? I
don't think the first paragraph referring to it as "the following
amendment" stops it from being an effective part of the proposal on
its own.

It definitely does, to my reading. Can you reread?
