I'd be against it.

If you want to try to bring emotion to your argument and mention "collusion," consider for a moment what'll happen in an every-robot-for-itself scenario.

The incentive and ability of two or three mediocre robots to temporarily ally against a single, much better robot is enormous. There is precedent to support this, even.

I think that'd be an enormous step backward.
