No, they would not be prohibited, just turn off the second receiver or
operate in the Unlimited class.

Nobody wants to "outlaw" anything. Just operate in the proper class,
Limited or Unlimited.
Just so it's clear: I greatly admire the ops who go all out
hardware-wise. I like reading their stories and seeing the competition
between them. But that is not my preferred style of operating and I
would like to compete against my equals, not my unequals.
As I've noted before, heavyweights do not box middleweights, Indy cars
to not race against stock cars and the NFL does not play against high
school teams. Yet each class is exciting anyway because when like
competes against like the playing field is level, not tilted in favor
of one side before the competition even begins.
