Seems sensible. Now please can Borthwick, and everyone else in the England camp just accept it, and move on. Or will we have another week of "anyone who knows him, knows he's not a dirty player" and other empty nonsense?

Nonsense is right. He may not be a dirty player, but then there's a fair weight of documentary evidence that suggests he's simply incapable of playing professional rugby to the standard required of him.
This is finally the right outcome, but I feel bad for him as the whole thing was a farce. Red, not red, red again… make up your minds, an why was Six Nations rugby involved in the original disciplinary decision? Shouldn’t there be a single body making these decisions for all unions?
It is actually up to each competition, not even each union, to have a Disciplinary Committee. But those judiciary structures roll up for appeal purposes. So for my location in North America, our union DC rolls up to the USA Rugby DC, which rolls up to Rugby Americas North DC, which rolls up to World Rugby. The same is true for Faz - the RFU rolls up to Six Nations Rugby, which I believe then rolls up to WR.
