I did not know of the new ruling. However the passport which has the Sudan stamps in it has since expired and been renewed. And for a totally unrelated reason I got my latest esta attached to another passport (I have triple nationality). Nowadays when allying for an esta you have to list all other passports you have, which I did.
I entered the US without trouble in January this year.
This "special treatment" has not yet come into effect. Apparently USA will soon be emailing the "bad" dual nationality prospective visitors that their ESTA authorisation is revoked later this month. Dealing with those who merely visited a "bad" country in the last few years will follow (date to be confirmed but won't be long).
Given airlines are required to send all PNR details to USA if anyone who is not US citizen had a recent(ish) round the world that included both USA and a "bad" country then US CBP will probably know about it. Whether they can successfully match to another (newer) passport is another question.
There is a
discussion on this issue in the checkpoints & border policies forum.
