It's not. No Pope can bind another Pope in the area of liturgical practice, no matter how much a previous Pope says or thinks he can.

Is this rule codified too?

I don't know. But, even the Tridentine Rite was a "new rite." Liturgical practice is not a matter of faith and morals, and rubrics cannot be defined infallibly.
