I'd be highly surprised if any member of the committee thought they were.

It seems like this thread has more or less said all there really is to say. We're now aware of the GDC's current interpretation of the rules, and (for the Understatement of the Week) I think there's a feeling of the general consensus of ChiefDelphi users. I'd also note that this thread was started on Friday morning; I doubt that the discussion that has taken place here could've hit the radar of any of the appropriate people, let alone a solution implemented, before last Friday's update went to press.

Perhaps it'd be best to give this thread the weekend off and only resume our collective howling/grumbling/offers-of-hugs-and-screwdrivers-to-Week-1-teams if the next Team Update (that'd be #15, for those playing at home) doesn't offer some kind of amicable resolution or guidance? It'll be cutting it close for the Week 1 set, yes, but there's not much that can be done in the meantime besides entering the caption contest or finalizing some Fantasy FIRST picks. (Or, you know, sleep.)
