Personally, I feel that continuing this tradition is important.

I definitely agree. This "Vendor Criteria" letter by FIRST does not disqualify teams and sponsors who make parts for each other. The contributing teams and sponsors simply need to be listed as part of the team sponsorship. The 60 / 254 collaboration example from last year is not affected by this criteria letter, in my opinion. These collaborated parts were custom, but they were also made during the build season and within the team partnership.
