So this is really not a resource issue. This is just SE holding back for the so called job identity reasons.
To be completely fair, we have absolutely no idea. The thing that bothers me is that Yoshida never gave technical limitations as a reason, he just said it's illogical or whatever.

I don't think clipping would be an issue in this case honestly. At least, it shouldn't be any different than the way it is right now.
