I believe "stricken" is quite proper here. I've seen hundreds of TV
and movie courtroom scenes where an attorney says "I move that
statement be stricken from the record." By the same token, a rule may
be stricken from the books.

Fowler: 'stricken' - this archaic p.p. of strike survives chiefly in
particular phrases, & especially in senses divorced from those
now usual with the verb; then gives examples: poverty-stricken,
etc.

However, it is possible that English and American usage
differ sufficiently to make 'stricken', as used in the
original quote, acceptable to many.
