Well, I don't see a fundamental difference between B70s or other high-tech suits.
I don't like the "arms race" and would be happy if they banned anything bigger than jammers for men. I don't know how they'd handle women's suits.
But I would be suprised if it ever happened.
Comparison to older times is skewed, but the same thing happens when they change rules; changing the backstroke flip-turn rules had a bigger effect IMO (I once estimated about 0.5 sec per turn, for me). Eventually almost everyone is wearing new suits and things settle down.
