Cheesecake: How far is too far?

Love it? Hate it? or only in moderation? No matter what your feelings are on the subject, it is happening on the field and nothing in the spotlight was illegal or bullying of any team involved. I'm creating this poll simply to gauge public opinion and here are the explanations of each level.

No cheesecake: The original answer to Q&A 461 discussed here. AKA Nothing assembled even partially by another team is allowed.

Replacements/spare parts: Allowing identical or assembled cots to be given. AKA assembled gear boxes, cut to length replacement parts, ect by another team.

Small Upgrades: Allowing small assemblies (<10lbs) built by another team to be attached. AKA Ramps and Canburglars attached to another team

Large Upgrades: Allowing large assemblies (10-30lbs) built by another team to be attached. AKA Team 900 at worlds.

New Component: Allowing entire mechanisms (>30lbs) that were built and bagged by one team and bolted onto an existing light robot. AKA bolting a full stacking system onto an existing drive train.

New Robot: Allowing an entire robot bagged by one team, to play as another team. AKA bagging two robots and giving the second one to another team.

As I currently understand the rules, all of the following are legal. If you don't believe this should be the case, I'm also curious how you would write this new rule.
