Sounds like a toy for offical factions, as No Way could this be trusted as a toy for indies.
The best thing would be that it doesn't get implemented to avoid arguments.
Seems you don't read it carefully. With proper planning, anything is possible. There are already things in games which Indies don't have access to, but that doesn't harm their play, for example some player faction IDs. These things will attract people to get more involved while not force them to do so.
