We discourage it because we use those spaces for work-in-progress testing and development, and if you interact with some of those areas you might get flagged in such a way that it confuses the system when those spaces or the things in them are added to the playable space. I love exploration, but I don't want too many characters seeing behind the curtain and getting ahead of our system.
