Don't get me wrong, I would prefer there were no restrictions. But then I am not that stressed about costs, seeing as I think, when it comes down to it, if the teams really don't want to spend so much then they won't.
However, in the current mode, whereby such long-life things have become the dominant strategy, I would think that it should be decided what duration is wanted then leave it at that point.
To increase the lengths overtime, such as seems the FIA's grand plan, I would think just causes high levels of R&D to expended on it.
For the sake of argument, decide that, as of 2009, that engines/gearboxes/whatever-else must last, for the sake of argument, 4-races.
Then just leave it at that.
Take the one year hit of increased R&D, and whatever else, then just leave it alone.
