I think you're going to need to be a bit more concrete than that. In
what way is it a foot-gun? What examples can you provide? What,
exactly, are the issues?
Perhaps, given concrete examples of issues with RULEs, we could look
at addressing those problems rather than throwing out the baby (let
alone put the baby in concrete -- sorry, the metaphors are getting
away from me).
Best,
David
