I don't think the banning is specifically aimed at your program. But there
have been bad experiences with bound programs in the contribs, that did
some bad stuff. Of course you're allowed to contribute a bound program,
I have no problem with that. Especially when it's only a program, and not
a library. And even libraries can be contributed in a bound form. Like
someone else already said, Pete's Print Preview-library is a fine example
of such a bound library.
