Not really though. I'd say the overwhelming majority isn't looking to take advantage of not having a punishment for it. Having a punishment is unlikely to actually stop anybody that was going to do it from doing it.
Adding it in now forces HO to find a fair deal and talk about it when their plate is already usually pretty full. Basically, why put in the work in deciding now when it might not even be needed? Again, most people either aren't going to take advantage, or a punishment isn't going to stop them from doing it anyway.
Let's just say "Repeat offenders of plagiarism will be dealt with on an individual basis" and call it a day lol
