Just because something is not in the spirit of FIRST (whatever THAT means--trust me, everybody has a different take on that, including the GDC) does not mean that it is illegal, or that it will be made illegal in the future.

For example, in 2010, I'm sure a lot of people thought that catching a ball right off the return was "not in the spirit of FIRST", particularly when it was returned to pretty close to the goal. Never ruled illegal, though, and multiple robots did it.

I'm thinking that there won't be a change to say it's illegal, partly because there's that other low goal and it's very difficult to block them both.
