Conflicts of interest seem the more sensible ones to rule out. Our rules against POV pushing already go against the worst problems of conflicts of interest, making the CoI rule something that mostly forbids good editing.
It's a guideline. I have constantly emphasised how good a piece of advice it is not to get into COI editing. People without WP experience really have no idea what a daily rund of edit war will do to them. We are not going to withdraw that advice. Let alone say paid PR people on the site are OK.
