I think most honest teams would be unaffected regardless of whether they expect their forms to be checked or not. Dishonest teams (or a few dishonest members of an honest team) might just falsify the form if they really wanted to make modifications to their robot. The idea of bagging and tagging to ensure equal robot access time certainly makes sense. While I think loosening restrictions would be inconsequential, I don't see the rule going away any time soon.
