The other problem is that many inspectors are not calling teams on it. We spent a lot of time (wasted a lot of time, really) making sure our bumpers would be legal. We would have very much liked to use a quick release pin, but decided it did not meet the letter of the rules. Once we got to the events we saw many teams who had used non bolt-nut fasteners, and were never told to change their bumper configuration.
