I think the key here is to explain the intent of the rule first. Is your goal to prohibit pre-made VP hubs? Is your goal to prohibit VP hub 'kits' assembled by the builder? Figure these out first, then tailor the rule to fit.
I personally don't see the issue with builder-assembled hubs and pre-made thrust bearings. I have seen pics of an all-metal hub that was most likely done with machine tools - Did you want to prohibit that one too (thereby limiting innovation by some poor bloke who used the tools they had?) I don't think that should be the intent here.
