I am concerned that const int "is at least as cv-qualified" as volatile int, but not "the same or greater".

Agreed. We only have a partial order here.

The PR now uses the wording "equally as or more cv-qualified than" (also fixes [expr.cond]), which should be unambiguous even with only a partial order.

Progress, but I remain concerned that "equally as cv-qualified" does not mean "has the same cv-qualification" due to our partial ordering.
…cv-qualification' with 'more cv-qualified'

Fixes #7048.
Generally, the strategy is to replace "same cv-qualification, or greater cv-qualification" with "at least as cv-qualified", which is much shorter and more natural. "At least as" is arguably not a defined term (unlike "more cv-qualified"), but I believe it naturally stems from the defined term. If we really wanted to, we could defined "at least as cv-qualified" and "more cv-qualified" more strictly, but I don't believe it's entirely necessary to do so.
Note that there is precedent for "at least as cv-qualified" in https://eel.is/c++draft/expr.cond#4.3.1
