Being in front of an opponent's tower has always been legal, and that strategy doesn't become more effective by e-stopping. As far as I can tell, all this outlaws is making contact with the tower before the FINALE and then hitting the e-stop to remain there until the end of the game without penalty. I don't think that's enough of a game-breaking play to make this broad of a change. That's a matter of opinion, though, in which case I'd argue that you can eliminate this particular strategy with better language in <G27> while leaving <S03> alone.
