On the other side, with so many companies doing Shorties now, if AE, Losi, Ofna, Tamiya, Mugen, etc. all start building racers that can take advantage of those packs, ROAR will update this ruling....

Oh...and as someone else mentioned somewhere: "ROAR who?" 99% of people who run these trucks will never get to a ROAR sanctioned race.... Most tracks/sanctioning bodies use ROAR rules as guidelines...and since most tracks I know of don't enforce ROAR approved Lipos, and some don't even enforce hard-case lipos, I can't see many enforcing this odd rule. (Though one track did enforce the "no blue bodies" rule....wierdos...)
