Just pointing this out, but it seems that this has never been illegal to begin with! Passive POE is, and has been, legal because the passive injectors are basically cable splices with nice housings around them. There is no rule against splicing ethernet cable or adding additional connectors to your wiring. The only difference this year is that the radio has the ability to eliminate one of the splices.
