Actually, I think "at will" is a very broken concept here. The point of it in R2551 is to allow the transfer of assets that a player CAN transfer however e likes anyway. However, the whole point of zombie security is that no one can transfer zombies however they like. Any limitation placed on Agora making the transfer generally means that Agora can't transfer "at will". So it's literally defining a term to be its opposite. -G.
