No, many other rules would still apply including “Behavior which can be reasonably considered harassment will not be tolerated.”

That's one of the rules they removed.

No it isn't? It's unchanged in the linked PR.

"Also changed yesterday"

The line about protected classes is not in addition to a general rule against harassment, or emphasizing that kind of harassment in particular, it replaced that rule.

There is a separate rule against personal attacks, but is that rule supposed to take over harassment in general? That sort of makes sense in a vacuum, but then it leaves the exact meaning of the 'harassment against protected classes' rule kind of confusing. What does harassing a class mean exactly, and can you harass a non-protected class?

It was removed in a follow-up PR, "Remove abuse enabling language pt. 2", which is linked to from the first:
