Just to remark that NO, this is not opening the door for others who had been banned in the past. There are a number of criteria (not least of which is that they need to have taken their banning well; anyone who’s made a huge public roar and outrcy, or tried to sneak back in under a different name, for instance, has no chance of being reconsidered.) ---
