We're currently planning a big overhaul to how IDs work, particularly focused on accessibility for new players, and it involves making it so IFFs are all you care about. As in, what you can do with/to a player depends on their IFF, not their ID. However, some very involved FLHook work is being done that'll take quite a bit of time before we can focus on this. As it is, the rules are ID-based, and they have been for a very long time. Some random announcement new players (and veterans!) can easily miss that isn't integrated into the rules doesn't change the status quo.
I'd still personally treat players who are IFF spoofing according to their IFF, but nothing stops you from engaging them based on their ID.
