Maybe if FIRST had said something 6 years ago when it first happened, there was a shot at that, but at this point they're closing the stable door well after the horse has bolted

This is probably true, and while I applaud FRC taking a firm position on this (finally - there's nothing worse than when people don't know the official policy), I think it would have been better (both in terms of chance of success and people's enjoyment) to have channeled the "tradition" into an officially sanctioned "paper airplane contest" of some sort (preferably one that does not result in award ceremony participants and robots being showered with projectiles).
