Subtle, but important difference from cases is that in other cases there are factory parts that can be used in the application and may or may not be available from the factory's "performance" or motorsports division. This clearly is not a supersession. For almost all makes you can find parts from other applications in the parts bin that not only will work but are also desireable. But if they are not official supersessions by the manufacturer, it's not legal.
The line is somewhat fuzzy here of course. Ultimately it comes down to the CRB (usually with a recommendation from the ITAC) to make the call. I assure you nobody is playing favorites. In fact, I can assure you the ITAC has spent a lot of time on this issue and continues to do so.

But, we continue to work on this issue. I mention this not to publicly disagree with my colleagues, air dirty laundry, or try to further a point. I'm doing it to point out once again that reasonable people can disagree and it still happens in the ITAC. We continue to work on this issue however. We all are trying hard to bring it into better clarity.
BTW, my personal disagreement is not what the ITCS says, but rahter what it should say. I think the wording got screwed up. I think superceded parts should not require line item listing, but replacement parts should.
Geo,
