As a "strict constructionist" I would say that was indeed a violation of the rules. Unless there was a specific mention of this modification in the documentation, and I don't recall any off hand.
The thermal capacity of the motors is one of the constraints we have to live with. It is however, perfectly legal to use fancy aluminum extrusions for a heatsink and incorporate them into your mount.
Just because somebody got away with it doesn't mean was legal.
