As I wrote, using the same model by several fliers in the same contest
has never been allowed, not before, not after the lifting of the BOM. If
people break the rules, either with intend, or without knowing them, how
does one use the fact against a rule that bans it. Agreed, the wording
of the rule could and should be re-written to more explicitly say that
passing around is not allowed. But it has not ever been allowed, so I do
not see how the fact that people break a rule can be used as an argument
against it.
