I would not like to see anyone presume that a hiker, mountain-biker or horse rider could not forward a river. Anyone tackling that kind of country is probably prepared to do just that, and it might upset their map routing planning by assuming they can't. Adding to the chances of them fording these creeks/rivers is that they are intermittent and might even be dry at the time of year they are planning their trip. Ditto for "non-extreme" 4WDs.
Please don't restrict the map unnecessarily.
