The one thing I worried about after reading and thinking about this was how it would effect AVS companies like SexKey and FNP that have pre-checked sales for their upsell sites. But since they own the company they are pre-checking, then I guess they are ok and fall within the rules. I don't do a lot of sites for them, but I'd hate to see them fold up like pro-adult and others before them. Fortunately, the company I sell the most for, doesn't do any cross sales.
