Honestly, I think this issue is pretty clear cut.

If agressive maneuvers achieve any game objective, including preventing an opponent scoring, such maneuvers should be allowed. In the "real world" our designs have to be robust! It is the environment that constrains the design space, not the reverse.

If aggressive maneuvers are deemed to achieve no game objective short of disabling / damaging an opponent, then they shall be handled according to the rules already in place.

My opinion.
