That seems weird, as almost everyone I know or have talked to who are involved in other robot competitions (such as Battlebots, etc.) regard the IFI speed controllers as among the best in the business.
Edit; If anything, opening up the allowable speed controllers to several brands that meet certain criteria would be fine. But to purposely just move as far as possible away from a product with a successful track record in various robotics competitions seems like a dumb decision.
