Sorry for the delayed response, but if my memory serves this is one of the few rules that still applies mostly due to the "secrecy" argument and "conflicts of interest" argument. It's not that it would be game-breaking to have different characters in different cabals, but it's just a rules-enforcement nightmare because every time something gets found out or just coincidences people WILL cry foul and blame the characters they THINK are alts, even if they don't know. The forum access stuff kind of flows from there too.
TLDR: Not a terrible idea, and I understand the reasoning, but it's not really worth the headaches it would invariably cause.
