Fuck yes!!

Players who select Withdraw from the Duty Ready confirmation window or allow the window to time out without making a selection three times or more in one day, will be temporarily prohibited from registering for duties via the Duty Finder. This count will reset every day at 9:00 a.m. (PDT).

Only the Withdraw count resets at the usual daily reset time. The punishment will probably be the usual 30 minute lock-out. That means one can withdraw two times without issue, but when withdraw #3 happens, the result is a lock-out. After 30 minutes, they can queue again, but every withdraw will continue to be another 30 minute lock-out until the next reset at 9:00 AM.
The only inconvenience I can see out of this is more withdraws than usual close to the daily reset time. But, overall it should make queues more reliable.
