It means someone has decided to rewrite things again just because he got bored of yellow, green, blue and red. None of this actually means anything.
Exactly... One more guy who wants to "leave his mark" on TKD and since they screwed up patterns recently he couldnt do that again so he went with this.

On the other hand assigning meanings that were not actually intended to established systems is wrong. That is what gave us some of the biggest myths in martial arts today:
(1) The belt colors come from wearing your belt so much that it changes colors because of your blood, sweat and tears, thus turning black (basically from dirt). What a joke, no Asian culture would even allow the wearing of some dirty garment.
(2) The color represent your journey (they do actually for white and black) yellow is the sun, green is the grass, blue is the sky and red danger (red used to be brown). Although a wonderful metaphor the belt colors are not really designed that way. Kano, who invented the belt system, for judo used red as the highest color not black. (Free attaboy to whomever can answer why that is hint: it has to do with Japanese culture)
Creating a philosophical base line or paradigm that destroys another on which it was actually based is a really dangerous action. Cleansing (destroying) or evolving?
In answer to your query,
One thing I love about the kukkiwon: they do not tell you how to run your show.
So is it going to be mandatory in KKW dojangs?

What do you mean? A dojang controlled or owned by the Kukkiwon? No such thing exists, unless you are talking about the organizations' own facility in Korea. If you are talking about dojangs that practice Kukkiwon style Taekwondo that's another story: The Kukkiwon is not and has never been in the business of managing or overseeing Taekwondo businesses, clubs non-profits, basement/garage studios, etc.
Actually, it is evolution; it is the continuation of Koreanizing taekwondo. It is their art and now the uniform looks like a hanbok.
What is the point of isolating the women from the men?
Red isn't the highest color in Judo, white is, the 12th Dan double white belt for Kano Sensei. Also metaphor you give above isn't the way I learned it. I learned it as black meant the universe which is higher or farther than the sun, red meant the sun, which is higher than the blue sky, which is higher than green grass or green leaves on a tree, which is higher than yellow or gold ore in the ground. And red was the original guep level color from the 1940s. So says GM LEE Won Kuk, the founder of the earliest Kwan.
Basically, Red is the highest in Judo. Lets stop at judan please.
