It seems like disabling those causes more problems for teams, and troubleshooting sensor drops are harder then pwm drops.
The PWM cutout, I'm actually happy about and hoping it will help end the stupid drivetrain wars we've been engaged in since 2005. The idea of "throw more power at it", while valid, gets annoying very quickly when 6CIM shifting drives smack into you from across the field.
