We've worked hard to reduce the coupling here, and we should try to make it harder to accidentally couple in the future.

Hey Mark,

I've never written a rule like the one described in this bug. Are you aware of any pre-existing examples I could work off of?

I think the no-browser-refs-in-toolkit rule is probably closest to what you are looking for.
