My vote is 1) yes.

The edits for implied-shape arrays, even as modified,
are at best complicated and confusing.  My complaint
is with the edits not with the corresponding
interpretation, which I think is correct.  I accept
that the latest proposed edits are probably the best
we shall get for the Corrigendum.  I hope we can do
better in the next revision of the standard.

As I pointed out in my ballots on the interpretations,
the same conditions that led to Subclause 7.1.11 apply
not only to the function PRESENT, but also to
ALLOCATED and ASSOCIATED.

I continue to disagree with the edits proposed for
Subclause 14.3, but I accept that I lost the vote in
committee and on the subsequent ballots.
