Yes, this engine mapping and DDD violated the "spirit" of the rule. But just by that cannot place any penalty of the rules.
Anyways, rules being clarified now.

Spot on.
The time-honored tradition of exploiting loopholes...intelligent maneuvering to one person, cheating to another. Might as well be derivatives. If you're not one step ahead of the regulations, you're two steps behind.
I wish I could comprehend what goes on in Adrian Newey's brain. It would be amazing to see what could be done if safety was the only regulated concern.
