Will this be ported back old.reddit.com?

We have plans to extend this internal API to our native apps in the coming months.
And are there any plans on this becoming a public API so third party apps could use it as well?

Do you mean the validations or the requirements page?
For the validations...first, we want to start by extending this API to our native apps and see how that impacts submissions and removed posts. After that, we'll evaluate where how we can make this even more robust. That may be adding more requirements, or extending it to other platforms like old.reddit or 3rd party apps.
Edit: One thing I forgot to call out above is that developing on the classic site (aka old.reddit) is very difficult and small changes (let alone something big like this project) can take a long time and cause a lot of crazy bugs. I'm not saying we'd never do it, just that it's another factor that goes into our decision making process.

We could always code the same restrictions in automod (except for repost frequency, of course) and give them a message: "if you were using the redesign, you would have know this at submit time!"
