[G45] applies to [G44]. [G28] is a SEPARATE RULE from [G44], but is called out as an exception to [G44] (both in a blue box and in [G44]). As an exception, it is not covered by [G44]. Therefore, [G45] does not cover [G28].

To put it another way: [G45] covers [G44]. [G44] does not cover [G28] because [G28] is both an exception and a separate rule. Therefore, [G45] does not cover [G28].

What would it cover otherwise? I don't know. There may be something that we're all overlooking so far. Personally, I think it's somewhat left over from 2011 (when it was introduced to deal with a strategy that was similar to [G28] this year).

That said: I think that TU#1 will address this question. If it does not, then Q&A should be asked for confirmation. If my interpretation is correct, matches can be won far too easily by teams exploiting [G28]. If my interpretation is incorrect, then I'm concerned about nothing. But nobody has been able to fully show me that I'm wrong so far.
