Currently there are places in code that assume you can always add any

Yes and no. There are certain collections that have an 'add' method and some that don't. For instance, Kind collections don't have this method. There are definitely bugs that need to verify that this method even exists before relevant menu items get enabled/disabled.

Is the plan to allow this indefinitely?

Or is the plan to let collections reject some items?

As an example of where the latter would make sense in my opinion is the
certificate store: I think it does not make sense to add anything other
than certificates to the Certificate Store collection you see in the
sidebar if you do Test > Certificates > Manage.
