Every single person that ragehacks, and blatantly ruins the game for others deserved a ban. If you hate the mod so much that you want the dev's to stop developing, then send them a fucking letter or something. Take a look at Rockets reddit post, some of the recent ones show just how worn out they are.
I enjoy cheating, but it's not cool to completely end a great mod.
Rocket's reddit,
