Yes, one of the early updates allowed slip rings and other similar devices as connections (not just wires) as long as they were rated for the current you were putting through them.

They were legal up until 2010 (mostly because no one ever said anything about them, I think), and then in 2010 the wiring rules were written more specifically and the GDC "accidentally" (is the thought) disallowed them in the wording. In the 2010 Q&A they stuck with the wording, but since then they've obviously decided that they're intent is otherwise.
