It really all comes down to the ref, and how he/she sees it. The definition of herding specifically includes bumping this year, as well as specifying that intermittent contact is still herding. Based on the vehemance of FIRST in their stance that they "Mean what they say," I don't think it would be wise to discount a possibility based on the rules of previous years.
