"Allowing"?

The reason for Compendium I and Compendium II was that all those traits were scattered all over the place among different pubs in 3e - paper pubs that were often out of print and hard to find!

4e is being much more prompt in this edition about trying to collect things with the Power Ups line.

The new traits are created for a product when the author (or an editor or a playtester) has the idea and thinks it's relevant to that product.
