You never know. Every year, the rules are subject to change for the next year, which means that a) they could be completely different, b) there is no change (never happens...), c) there is some relatively minor change, or d) there are lots of changes of varying degrees of effect.
You never know. However:
The reason for the motor limits is so that teams have roughly the same amount of available power. If you add a motor to the KOP, you add power. So either it has to be available to all teams (specifically allowed by the rules) or it has to be in the KOP. Same for pneumatics--you have a given set of cylinders that you can have any number of, but there is still only one compressor.
I don't think this particular rule will change much.
