Hmm - I missed that implication and it's a point against voting for it, I think. It would be nice if we didn't try to change any gameplay aspects other than the mechanics of transfer and left actual game play decisions to other proposals. I think it's good to have an explicit CANNOT list that we have to consciously modify rather than accidentally adding abilities elsewhere if we word them too generally.
