Why? Especially in light of this statement?:

These two statements don't jive without any support.

On the other hand, I will outlaw ceramic bearings later today
I understand what you're trying to do (cost control and perception shaping), but I think it's a solution in search of a problem. In any case, how would you ever tech for
user replaced bearings? I mean, it's not like they're hard to get, hard to replace, or expensive. It is something that the average user wouldn't do on their own, probably, so it's really probably a non-issue.
Shame about outlawing the bearings....something that lends itself to greater longevity and lower maintenance (with negligible performance boost AS PER MANUFACTURER REP), which are core concepts of VTA.
