I understand that, but I was discussing what would happen in OOTP now if you allowed players to be DFAed without being waived. The game isn't tracking whether 40-man additions have happened since your last DFA move, so without coding a lot of extra stuff to make the game do things it doesn't currently do, loopholes would exist. That's not to mention the potentially considerable confusion that might arise among users unfamiliar with these technicalities about when they can reinstate a DFAed players to the active roster.

If there's some significant gameplay advantage to making a change, I could be persuaded that the coding effort would be worthwhile, but I've yet to hear any reason why changing how DFA works will make the user experience more interesting.
