In general, changes that make FRC teams perform worse aren't a good idea.

Code must be submitted to the FRC Code Submission System no later than 12am EST on [stop build day] via zip file. It will be loaded prior to each match by the FMS system. Teams will be given the opportunity to submit new code at the event via a change request process administered by the FRC Software Advisor (FSA). Only code written at the event will be allowed.
There, invalidated the primary benefit of practice bots and all iteration of systems while still allowing functionally identical replacement of parts and minor geometric tweaks and still allowing at event changes.

For the record - I think this is a stupid idea.
