Since the rational is to provide online security I'd hate to think that the only way to do that is to re-lock FMs and DMs. That would have a chilling effect on the quest to find a way to add new planes to the sim. Sounds a bit like cutting off ones nose to spite their face. :?
Currently anyone can develop any mod they wish (within the current self-imposed limitations, of course). So if one has the urge, knowledge, and drive to develop a mod to secure online gameplay... power to 'em! Personally, I'd think that developing a way to secure online play that doesn't impact continued advancement in mod development (particularly for the offline aspect... my feely admitted bias) would be the more equitable course for all concerned. Just my opinion, of course...
