>> I don't think Erratum 5397 should be deleted. Though the original section 7.8 makes no mention of confirmed commits, section 7.9 does, but does not differentiate between a vanilla confirmed commit and a persistent confirmed commit. Since a persistent confirmed commit is still a type of confirmed commit, without clarification the second paragraph of the description would seem to apply.

It's a minor point, but I could argue, as I wrote before, that such clarifications in 7.x are unnecessary because 8.4 provides overrides.   I prefer less text because it's easier to get right (wit this is at least the 3rd time Jonathan is at this now).  However "unnecessary" doesn't mean "wrong" and since we've already stepped in it, getting the 7.x errata right might be easier than getting 8.4 right.

It depends, are you correcting the earlier errata or filing a new one?   Regardless, I expressed a diff for what I think the text should be (which you didn't comment on); how that is translated is up to you.
