Heh, you're right, we win some, we lose some. I truly believe this update was to prevent trailer damage, which is part of the field as you stated. Damage prevention techniques are stated and implied in several spots of the manual (since Day 1) and on the Q&A.

Don't get me wrong though; I'm all for milling a 1/4" slot to allow for roll, which would prohibit pitch. I suppose we can call the GDC lazy for going with the simple method of drilling a bigger hole.
