Not very, simply because it's not worth enforcing religiously.  I
want to limit casual, trivial muling, but if someone wants to
actually make that their style of play and it doesn't hurt anyone
else, then I think it's fine.  I just don't want advancement to
become trivialized through muling and overspecialization.

For me, the integrity of the game is a delicate balance between one
player's enjoyment and the enjoyment of the community.  There's no
quick, accurate and universal answer.
