I just don't understand Vick's position at all. He wanted to create a mage tournament — requested a checkbox. Restricting heroes is not the SoD way!!!
The checkbox for the mage tournament merely implemented programmatically what can be written into the rules. This isn't the first mage tournament; previously, restrictions were applied verbally.
Almost no one uses the checkbox for level 2, so there's no point of contention there. As for Reconstruction, judging by the mindset of those who voted "for", it's planned to eventually push it all the way through — as a mandatory option in all tournaments.
Besides, the level 2 checkbox can be emulated without issue by the rule "restart if level 2 is not built", meaning no new functionality is created.
