The rules makers didn't _intend_ to allow the RX fuel system.
However, in the protest process, they can't punish people for
following the written rules. And they judged that the written
rules allowed it. But they didn't want the written rules to
allow it. So, they're changing the written rules.

I haven't seen the wording yet. However, if you think there's still a
loophole, perhaps that's why they had to write so many words -- and may
need even more. There's a bunch of stuff they want to allow, but some
very similar stuff they want to disallow.
OTOH, if they make it long, confusing, and self-contradictory, then they
will effectively force people getting in the gray area to ask if their
specific mod is allowed -- people will have to ask for their _intent_.
