Absolutely. With all the supposed problems with breakage and checking procedures, all they accomplished was to push the problem boundary out to encompass more issues and cost thousands of dollars more.

Anytime somebody argues for such rules changes based on 1) "Everybody is already getting by with it." or 2) "It's too hard to police." or "The Ford guys - Chrysler guys - Chevy guys (take your pick) have an advantage cause they get to do it.", get ready. A new door is about to be opened for 1) 10 new things people will find to get by with, 2) 10 new things will open up that are much harder to police, and 3) 10 new things will develop that will give one of the groups a bigger advantage.

Of course the worst result is that everybody is about to get screwed.

Poster child of stupid rules with devastating results in Stock was the valve spring rule.

Poster child of stupid rules with devastating results in Super Stock was ported heads.
