So then the rule doesn't prevent all of Go from working - it only
prevents the state of the game being affected by forfeiture.

Well, it looks like that just got decided automatically. If a player
forfeits, not a damn thing happens. Their stones remain on the board,
and their allies remain their allies.

It would be difficult for anyone to form new alliances with a
non-existent player. Also, in the end, the Go game might attempt to give
them some points, and fail.

Is there anything particularly wrong with this?
