Sorry I'm just getting to this -- I think the wording is a bit unclear here.

The previous wording made it clear what "covered by this statement"
means -- i.e., "subops not listed here are considered safe for
disaggregation".

Maybe something like this:

"All subops except the following are covered by this statement.  (That
is, only the subops below are considered safe for disaggregation.)"

"... (That is, no subops are considered safe for disaggregation.)"
