I'm sure there are quite a few students that only know the rule, not the reasons behind it. In the latter case, it might bore some students, but not all of them.

I think telling the actual reasons behind it would be too ... uncomplimentary ... toward the tech staff. Plus, (at least if I were writing it) it would note that we really can use the A drives, and in reality they are only claiming that the drives won't work anymore. Somehow, I don't think they would appreciate that revelation.
