This reminds me of the old CAS patch. Where I removed the early wrap
detector due to the fact that the sun would have engulfed earth before the
wrap could plausibly occur (without the instance being restarted).

All joking aside; while I am annoyed that I'll likely be the person who
implements it, and it will do nothing but cause harm to people, it's a
little silly to avoid allowing it entirely.
