This might be old text that was not updated. Although I can't find an announcement that went out, a clarification was put on the Process wiki page back in September 2017: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Process2018#.2334_Process2014_introduced_an_AC_ballot_for_CR_transitions_and_now_we_have_a_ballot_open_for_a_year This noted that starting AC review at CR had introduced problems and practice was returning to starting AC review at PR. This is reflected on Process 2018, where the section on CR does not say an AC review should open: https://www.w3.org/2018/Process-20180201/#candidate-rec while the section on PR does say an AC review should open: https://www.w3.org/2018/Process-20180201/#rec-pr It seems the editors of the process document didn't clean up the reference you found when making this change. But the intention in the timeline to start AC review at PR does reflect the current Process requirements.
