Yeah, I think this ship sailed a couple of years ago. Onus is on the ball handler to be aware of where his/her elbows are going. Might seem unfair but it's a safety/concussion issue.
Fortunately it's just another personal foul for the offender. The only difference is that the team aspect of the penalty is a little more (2 shots to offended player + ball at spot nearest foul).
