All competitive activities are affected this way.  New
technology is often questioned when it has the potential
to change the nature of a hobby/sport.

That's why full-body swimsuits are "too much" in
international competitive swimming, as are -

   Video relays in competitive bird-watching.
   Wing-suits in ski-jumping events.
   Mechanical propulsion in sailboat races.

However the normal rules don't apply to contesters.
We are special - as pioneers and leaders in advancing
and integrating communications technologies there
should be no limits to how we choose to contact one
another while contesting :-)
