Because the RM says so :). Pat Rogers gave the RM references.
I believe the rationale is that you can only do initialization by
aggregate in the body of the package defining the type, so you are
assumed to know what you are doing, and should do the equivalent of
the Adjust processing while building the aggregate.
Hmm, what I said about "body of the package" is strictly true only for
limited controlled types. Still, if you have visibility so you can
build an aggregate, you are presumed to know what you are doing.
