ISTR the NEC didn't require this; but I sure wouldn't want a house that was
wired that way.
In effect, not having the safety ground connected back to the GFCI would
mean that an appliance plugged into a new plug could have a short between
hot and the case (safety ground) that would not be detected until someone
touched it and completed the circuit. Call me old-fashioned, but I just
don't trust a GFCI that much.
