lot's of 'things' added did break things (weather code made the server simply 
uncompilable in the beginings, led to duplicate items. Town portal led to 
people able to acces other people's appartments and get stuck. polymorphing 
monsters lets to demons inside newbie house...

For most of slight or more important breakages of game logic, there is a 
common factor. Side effects unexpected from the add-on coder.
Regulating what add-on has access to does allow it a wider range of possible 
improvments (as it is easier to find where in core you have to interact) 
while giving coder more insurance on possible side effects of it's calls 
(documented list of callable methods).
