That was a BRCA decission G, Regionals were allowed to run brushless when Nationals were not. I think it was to allow testing and development of brushless technology 1 year ahead of it's introduction into Nationals.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see a similar thing happen with cells this year. Allowing regional drivers to compete with last years cells and any oversized cells being weeded out of Nationals straight away. I admit this probably wouldn't be ideal for some but it has to happen sooner or later.
