Is the bottom line of the case, that any BVAP percentage in excess of the minimum to elect a candidate of the minority's choice where it entails gerrymandering, is now illegal packing?

So you can't gerrymander if it involves persons of color, even if it is solely because they are Democrats, except to the extent if a "compact CD" is out there that would elect a candidate of their choice. That standard won't hold, if otherwise gerrymandering remains legal.
