My POV is that we will never publish full rules again (so far, everything we would have previously (circa v2.[234]) used a full rule for is better handled by code that targets what we want,) and we actively discourage others from writing and using full rules. Therefore I think we should definitely erect barriers against being able to publish full rules! :) I don't want to get rid of them altogether, but if someone wants to use them I think they need to actively think about what the issues are and then do something to allow use if they decide full rules are worth it. It's similar to allow_user_rules -- they generally work fine, but there's a large potential for pain if used the wrong way, or if there's an accident, or ... -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Have we had the chance to play with a blow torch Nikki?" - Mr. Wizard
