I saw that and conversion restrictions, too, and copied a client who wants to convert to a Roth over a few years. He may speed up his process! I hope the income threshold remains, because that will keep it open for some of my clients.
I guess i would rephrase my response a bit differently.
The IRS is not in control of the majority of what has happened and is struggling to deal with the current situation.
While it can be very frustrating, all we can do is explain it to our clients.
