Motors - another concept for FRC

When a mentor (Shaun) on my team mentioned an idea some time ago, I just could not get it out of my head. It was radical and interesting but do-able so I thought I'd post it here for your opinion.

We are given a set of roughly 10 motors every year that are legal to use. According to the rules, for most motors, we can only use what is given to us in the kit and in the same quantity that they are given. What if the rules were written as such: We are given the names of 7 (arbitrary number) motors legal for an FRC competition. We are allowed to use as many of each type of motor as long as the total number of motors is less than 10 (again, arbitrary number). There are pros and cons to this concept for the robot design and inspection. I'll let you point them out.

It's just a concept.. I am not advocating anything..
