The ruling was mainly put in place to prevent rangers and rogues unleashing ridiculous novas where they launched several attacks/dailies with easy triggers like: "You hit an enemy with an attack", or various free granted attacks from other characters that would accumulate to absurd amounts.  With the Barbarian, on the other hand (like with the new scout), taking free attacks at the right time is their striker damage power. They are already pretty conditional. So the Barbarian kills an enemy, and takes a free charge, and scores a crit - depriving them what might be their one chance to 'Rampage' this fight is a rather low blow, in my mind. It really isn't unbalanced to let them do so, and not what the limit on free action attacks was ever really intended for.  As for the actual debate on what counts as a free action attack from a power vs a class feature vs whatever... that's an ugly area of the rules I don't particularly want to get into, given how inconsistent WotC is about it, so I'll leave that RAW debate to everyone else.</blockquote>
